I've been up that a couple of times, and it's sometimes challenging for some people who actually make it. I've neve3r heard of anybody falling, except for one that fell from the top rather than the trip up - if I remember correctly. I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often, but I guess the Park Service would close it in that case.

What am I missing? I assume you aren't shooting from the cart (which might be fun). I thought clays were usually a pretty stationary kind of thing, so what's the cart for?

Larger sporting clays tournaments these days cover a good amount of area and tend to be multi event days. Typically 15 or 16 stations in the main 100 bird event. Bought mine (green one on the right) after showing up late and winded for my favorite event (FITASC). Kind of an arms race now but also great on hot days.

Never know what will turn up on the trail camera.

Looks like this fella cut his leg/ankle/foot up down at the end of my street where the Intracoastal is. There's rock with barnacle and also some coquina rock down there....

Just yanking your chain. Looks like a wide angle lens artifact.

I would expect the carbs would be a definite improvement over ‘72 mechanical injection pump! Enjoy!

So far it's amazing!
Love the intake music that 6 carbs produce, it's more responsive than the MFI was and plenty more in the HP-Torque zones. Just a bit over 100 miles into break in and I've yet to hit redline... pulls hard up to 6k, or 5k, or, or.

Used Hero H6 to capture lots of the engine removal process and it's a really wide lens.

Very, very happy to have John Walker's expertise in the build, install and first tuning!

The transmission shifts better than it ever with Johns professional touch too.
