Trap and target all day !!

Post by DWD445 » Sun Sep 25, 2016 8:52 pm

Went out w/Mike to his friends back yard today. Shot trap for the 1st time and was awesome !! 25 round shoots x4 my shoulder is blue a little :P. But started off poor 6 for 25, then 14 and best was 17. I was happy and had fun. Beautiful place to shoot and I'll post a couple vids when I can. BTW all free about 3 mi from me :mrgreen:

This phone likes to boot me off when I hit submit. So I am continuing.... Also had my Super Mags and BBS 44 w/new Skinner peep sight at 4 turns up 50yds no problem. Swinging metal targets and about 35yds w/DWs... ding.. ding !!
Shot from 1pm to 6:30 !! Beatiful range in the woods/shade. Best time shooting I can remember !! Nice log cabin house too.

It's quite easy to get hooked on trap, DWD. I just started this late summer, and like it a lot!
And your scores are better than mine so far!! :lol:

Nice "nearby back yard" range. And only three miles to get there....very cool.
Glad you had a good day and a lot of fun shooting!

Looks like a lot of fun. I've made mention on this forum that I have done some sporting clays, five stand and skeet shooting lately. I'd really like to give trap a try. I enjoy shooting the clays running away from me and not necessarily crossing directly in front with a 7 foot lead like in skeet.

Still gotta load the vids to PB and a pic of the nice bruise on my shoulder :lol: 100 rds of 12 ga will do that :roll:
We were shooting straight out and aim just under was the spot. My challenge was the plug is still in my 1300, so 3
shots and I had to reload... threw me way off usually. Did get 5 for 5 once though !!
Mike is in 1 vid when I get it, He's good, as fast as he could pump the shotgun he said pull, 5 birds in 30 sec !! :o
He didn't miss many ;) Was a beautiful day too. May do it again next week !!

Did the vids work ok ?? seemed very slow and jumpy on PB, I can load directly to DWF, and they play much better ???

DWD -- the vids were "very slow and jumpy" on my computer. At first I wondered if it was my computer internet connection, but can easily believe it is PB "holding up the show."

I've certainly had those bruises before. Last time I was at the skeet field I borrowed someone's 20 gauge. No bruise!

FWIW, DWF was down yesterday, but up today and the vids are worth seeing in a better stream. LINK
