That's quite the shooting pace. I'll be shooting my first trap day ever next weekend, my only shotgun is an 870 Express, and I'll be asking before the shoot about things like loading the magazine for a round vs. single loading (which would surely slow me down, I'm not an experienced shotgun shooter, even though I've seen it done on film at remarkable speed). I've shot skeet once, two rounds, broke one target; hopefully I'll do better at trap with all the targets going more or less away from me and no doubles to worry about. Edit: Okay, found a good page on trap, single loading only unless shooting doubles (I won't be doing that until I can hit 20+ in a round of singles, though I might try wobble trap sooner). I need to get one of those from-the-box pouches, then...

@schaferhundschmidt17985 жыл бұрын
Both have differing degrees of difficulty, and the guns designed for each type of trap (American vs. International) reflect that. You're not going to snap a 9-10 pound high-combed, high ribbed 34" barreled Trap gun to your cheek like a Sporting Clays gun, but it is easier to shoot a 7 pound field ribbed flat combed in International Trap. It can be done for American Trap also, but the guns designed for it do give an advantage. You wouldn't hunt deer with an F-Class benchrest rifle. If it's so easy, I expect you to win at the Grand in 2019.

@sevenrats7 жыл бұрын
***** I think it might not trigger it because I (and most shooters) close the action immediately on the report of the previous shooter. There is a delay after the pull or else the report of the shotguns would launch another bird. One of the places is about 3 miles away, I'm a member there. All the others are about 30 to 40 minutes away. I'm a member at one of those too. They all are open to the public for trap certain days and times. There's another club near me but it's not open to the public for trap and I can't justify joining another club and I really like the one that's 30 min. away.

I shoot a semi-auto and have a shell catcher stuck to the action. Works great. If I ever shoot doubles though the shells will be flying everywhere. Besides that, if you're just shooting at open trap at a club everyone should just chill out and be happy that guys with pumps and semi's come out to shoot. We need more people interested in the shooting sports.

***** Nobody shoots at clubs? The clubs are pretty busy near me. I agree there are some clubs where the guys are elitist attiduded dickheads.
