Trap and Skeet

[uplandhunter870]

ill give it to ya that 16yd is about as exciting as watching paint dry.  handicap and doubles is where the fun is in trapshooting.  i dont mind guys jacking shells its just the autos that throw them a country mile.  i didnt bust my hind quarters for two years to afford my gun for another guy/gal to  ding it for me.

sporting clays is a riot, shot it twice over at Drykes place in sequim.  wish there was a sporting course close by here.  i would love to try bunker trap, know a few guys that have shot it and said it is a real humbling experience.  too bad the nearest bunker is in renton ( i think) and is a private club.

those guys that try and time the trap are foolish in my belief, besides with the random interupters that most new traps have its extremely hard to do.  i was talking more of the tempo or rythm of a squad.  in my experience a good squad with a good rythm usually results in better score for everyone.

uplandhunter-
you should plan to come over to this side of the hill march 20 for the opening weekend of the new sporting clays course at Seattle Skeet and Trap. it's about a 2.5 hour drive from you and should be a real good shoot. Here's a schedule from the washington state sporting clays association site. You're right, unfortunately it looks like there are no sanctioned shoots anywhere near wenatchee, but it's not a bad drive and there should be a great turn out...plus all the equipment will be brand new.

p.s. any of you guys who think 5 stand is exciting haven't lived till you've shot a few sporting clays courses.

Uplandhunter, If you are ever in the Moses Lake area on a Sunday, send me a PM. I dont mind helping folks with trap shooting, keep in mind everyone has an opinion. I enjoy helping the FFA kids and I find you usually dont need to do much to get folks going on the right track. I dont shoot much skeet, so no help there.
