MCF&G - Trap Update - New PAT TRAP Up And Running

[indyrun]

Great News !!!
Marion Co. Fish & Game has invested in two new PAT Traps. The first machine was installed last Thursday. (a BIG Thanks to John Harden, Cliff Burlew, Mel Millikan, Monte Conover, and of course Nathanial & Malek).
We will now be capable of throwing Doubles on Both Fields and Wobble Trap on the North Field. We will setup for Doubles as soon as we get a squad and will keep throwing them until everyone has had their fill. Same for Wobble. If you haven't shot Wobble Trap come out and give it a try, it's a hoot! Of course we will keep the adjacent field set for Singles and Handicap unless Everyone present wants to shoot Doubles or Wobble.
Still only $4.50 for 25 Targets. Doubles can be shot as a 50 Target (5 pair per station) or 24 Target (2 Pair on 3 Stations and 3 pair on 2 Stations) Event.

Wobbles sounds like some thing I can do good at.

Yeah, and in Wobble you get a second shot if you miss.....of course they are going a bit faster and can be as low as skimming the ground or as high as a moonshot. Like I said it's a hoot, and we plan on shooting Wobble this Thursday.... 5 till 10PM under the lights.......

Shooting off these machines yourself is better than any video.!!!! Thanks!

Thanks for the hospitality tonight; it was fun to shoot a round of trap with you guys.

My three guests and I had a great time tonight. The wobbles and doubles are great as they add more variety/games. Thanks to all who help run the match.

Glad you came out. Good shooting with you too, but you didn't have to show everyone on the squad up, now did you?

Shot our first round of Wobble. It was great. After a couple minutes making an adjustment to the new machine, we were throwing everything from birds that took some gopher heads off to ones that looked like a moon launch. A great time for all...

I look forward to shooting some Wobble trap with you guys in the future. In the meantime, I've got to sort out a better way to minimize recoil. I broke my collar bone in my right shoulder as a teenager, and I'm still a little recoil sensitive due to the way the bone healed. Just that 1 round of trap still has me a little sore on Saturday... I've got to try some 1 oz loads and a trap vest if I'm going to be able to shoot much more.

FYI, here is a sample video (not our range, some other range in Canada) where people are shooting Wobble trap. The video isn't the greatest, as it's hard to see the birds, but it gives new folks an idea of what we're talking about:

You can try my gun. It has a Phil Simms' Pro Soft recoil system custom stock. Only the barrel and receiver move with recoil, nothing in the shoulder.

I have a hunting vest with a pad in it; I will have to bring it along with me next time I shoot trap.

We shoot Trap in the heat and cold, rain or shine, until 10 PM under the lights.
