Dumb question... I know you can tell if you hit or miss... but in trap shooting how can you tell in which direction you missed? Do you get visual feedback on the location of your shot?

I dunno... I always wondered this.
And, no, I've not shot trap at all. But I watch the guys sometimes and it is a thing of beauty when someone good is nailing the clays one after another. They make it look easy.

Someone with experience can often tell where you're missing by standing directly behind you and taking careful note of where the gun is pointing when the shot breaks. It's a bit of an art, and some people are obviously better at it than others. Depending on the background and lighting conditions, it's possible for someone standing behind the shooter to actually see the shot cloud. Sometimes even the shooter can see it, but because of the recoil usually not.
Didn't hit a damn thing....
But it was still fun, going to keep going back and try to get better at it.
Hey is your birthday 8/1/1986...cuz if so we share the same one
This past Sunday I went and used my own gun for the first time. I broke 20 the first round and only 13 on my second. I just ordered a Limbsaver slip on recoil pad because my shot gun only has a hard plastic butt plate. I feel that the large bruise covering my entire should area was a major factor in the lower score in the second round.
