Thread: First go at trap shooting today

Agree with the comments regarding fit and balance mentioned above.
I used a cheap Brazilian Boito U/O (Mod/Full), in Aussie, many years ago, for DTL (which does have the clays coming out in different directions, but always rising. Even double bird throws), Trench - I was shithouse at this (birds were smaller and much faster and a fixed distance - 25M at NSW Gun Club), and a simulated 'Rabbit' flyer/double throw at Narrabeen Gun Club.
Got hooked on DTL and the simulated (think they call it Sporting Clays now), bought a Beretta s/auto with fixed 3/4 choke.
Kept the Boito until someone offered me an early model Winchester Pidgeon at a superb price (he hated it and wanted a Perazzi).
Reloaded using Lee press and a custom bush.
Also had a thrower and a box of clays - was really into it.
Went to Perth in '86, sold them all in '89 to buy our first house in WA - really miss it now, but broken ears and not hearing someone 10M away, with ear plugs and muffs in, means it's unsafe for me and other shooters, so gave it away.
