Skeet/trap is fn fantastic.

[maltc]

Recently picked up a browning cynergy cx o/u and finally got up to my club for skeet wobbles and a few rounds of trap.

This has to be one of the funnest shooting disciplines in the game.

Trap was much easier- and I had a 19/25 round while still getting the hang of things. (First time ever shooting clays).

Wobbles skeet was far more difficult but I was using a full choke- major rookie mistake. Ordered some skeet chokes for the next go.

Any other enthusiasts? Laughs and comradery the entire time.

It's addictive for sure

I shoot clays to keep my edge for hunting. It can be much more fun than punching holes in paper.

My son is just starting to do it with me as well. Great activity. We bring our own thrower down to the range….

shooting trap this afternoon, welcome to the addiction

 

[Marty McFly]

I love trap. For me, half of the fun is shooting the shit with the old timers

You don't say where you're located, but if you post a general area, you'll likely get offers of, "Come to my Club!"

Also, if you're new, FYI, if you ask for tips, you'll get them (often useful, too ). In addition to wrong choke tubes, there are a lot of basics that are easier to learn from another, than to figure our yourself.

Enjoy the Orange Kool-Aid.

shooting trap this afternoon, welcome to the addiction

Very glad you had a fun time G. The clay games are extremely fun, albeit addictive. Wobbles skeet? That is a whole 'nother level. Shooting that with the .410 proved to be rather daunting.....

 

[Buck F]

I need to learn to shoot clays. Tried once or twice many years ago & couldn’t hit shit.

Fully agree. Much to be learned from this generation. Guy who took me under his wing was shooting a .410 lever action. He even Hit a few doubles- was a great time all around.

Some call it a FUDD sport.

The team I was on was doing it for busting each other’s balls, fun, laughs, great food and lots of drinking beer. We checked all the boxes.
It wasn’t to win. It was for fun.

Sporting clays, when you need a five foot lead in a three foot window.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

Try it with one eye shut. You won't hit for shit. Ask me how I know. Jack.

Clays are fun and so are black rifles. If it goes boom it's fun.

If you think Trap and Skeet are fun, Try some sporting clays. Some of the courses are pretty cool and makes for a nice walk in the woods

One of the places I went to, they had the clay come out of windows of ruins or over water.

All clay games are fun. Sporting clays is like golf with guns.

 

[Zappa]

I haven't shot skeet in ages, but I had a blast back in the 80's & 90's, that was when you could still use lead shot and reload your own for 10 cents a shell.

Thats great , slow them old buzzards down even more trying to get them to the line and get rounds in ! Go shoot the shit in the club house! Lol.
Miss trap , loved going to ATA events. Holbrook marathons.

It can get crazy , piss theough 10s of thousands of rounds if you go deep. Doing things like buying shot makers and reloading.
I need to blow of the dust on the loader and go shoot some trap .

My wife and I shoot trap as often as possible. it's a great way to spend a Sunday together. Check out a YouTube channel called "clay coach online" he has some amazing tips and techniques that have helped us immensely.

 

[Cuz]

Just started shooting trap a couple months ago. Definitely addictive. I may have to sell both my handguns to buy more shotgun ammo…

 

[Amputee Marksman]

I started shooting trap when i was 20. Shot every week for a couple of years. Loved it. I had a cheap Brazilian made O/U but it did the job. Then I got a M1 from CMP and got the HI Power bug for a while.

Nice tip. I need some SERIOUS help for skeet. I do OK at trap and great at dropping real upland birds during hunting season. I'm sure I'd suck at dropping ducks as I currently suck at skeet.

It is a lot of fun.

Just don't become one of the FUDDS. Maybe educate them on why a 15 round mag shouldn't be banned.

Im part of my clubs skeet and trap committee. We run 3 times a week, 2 nights, and saturday

I shoot 1-2 times a week, skeet mostly, wobble sometimes if the guys feel like it.

Bust balls and a bunch of laughs.....we try and help and welcome new shooters as well and have been getting
quite a few lately.

We also train kids for the youth pheasant hunt starting in August.

And we gently train Fudds to not FUDD as well, some of us bring our Mossberg 8 shots and wail away, or shoot the pistol with rat loads on station 8, or occasionally pull the Rock Island black AR type shotgun out of the safe and play around.

We try to make sure its anything but a stuffy, place full of old people shooting, fancy guns and nosing down other people for shooting "lesser" guns, there is a club like
that in my area already and those trapezoid farts can stay there.

Lead is fine at almost any club in Central MA???

Yeah you can't reload cheap anymore, but for 3 bucks a round at my club...WTF kinda fun are you gonna get like that for less than 10 bucks shells included.

Great courses there. There was a BBQ nearby called Grumpys that is worth a stop into after.
