I am getting addicted to shooting trap

[sbnewsom]

Couple weeks ago a few buddies and I went out to bust some clay. And wow was it fun. Now I'm addicted. We just had a little thrower but I did have the chance to shoot trap last weekend. My second set of 25, I got a 17. Can't wait for trap at MCFG Thursday night. Guess its time to start saving up for a nice O/U.

Here are a couple pics.

And one more sexy Russian

You look like you are having s lot of fun. I have been wanting to try trap. Moving targets are more sporting. Where in Central Indiana can you do this? I do not recognize the acronym you used above


Thanks in advance.

I know that Marion County Fish and Game has trap on Thursday nights from 6-10 pm. It's over on the west side. On Saturdays I'm going to try Brownsburg Conservation Club.

I have been to Kingry (sp?) before. It's out in mt comfort.

I'm going to try MCFG on Thursday if its not too cold. Let me know if you feel like going. We will go figure it out together.

The Indiana Gun Club in Geist/Fortville has a LOT of trap/skeet/sporting clays... and a great selection of nice shotguns as well.

Welcome to the Clay Bird Sports! When looking for an O/U Gun be sure the Barrels are split. I learned this years ago with an Ithica/SKB Mod 600. On a windy day the solid barrels act as a sail.

I believe I'm becoming an addict too. I got a lesson last week and indiana gun club from Bob Self. Excellent teacher. It was nice to get the basics down now I'm looking for a little nicer o/u that will last a lifetime.

He let me shoot a browning o/u of his that he said had over 360k rounds through it. It still shot great.

Bob is a great guy! I took a couple lessons from him about 8 years ago now. really improved my form and my scores!

When you get bored with trap (about 5-10 minutes), give sporting clays a try. Its easier to get addicted to than heroin.

I can't wait to shoot some clays when it dries up a bit, very fun and addictive!

Indiana Gun Club has several Browning GTS 20 Ga with 30" barrels in stock for just under $2k. They would be great guns to start out on.

Its an amazing sport! Soon enough it will be sporting clays

 

[Rfrantz3]

Followed by ATA Memberships!!! lol

 

[sbnewsom]

Sporting clays is fun but Trap is my game. The ATA membership did come quick.

Ahh yes, I remember when I first started shooting trap and thats all I wanted to do. ha

It is a lot of fun.

If you want to get a little faster/further birds with a little plastic hand thrower, stop by good will and buy a junk gold club. Cut the head off so you have 2 to 2-1/2 feet of handle, screw it to the plastic throwing handle. With practice, all that leverage gets a lot of speed and distance. I quit using my spring loaded trius trap entirely. Clay target shooting is fun, every shot gives you immediate feedback (and hopefully a score) Good Luck

seriously thinking about trap shooting...How effective will my mossberg 500 be on a trap range.. talking equipment, not talent.. I do pretty good in IDPA. I know two different worlds.
