YouTube - ITS A TRAP!

Absolutely.....there's just something about leading a clay a bit, squessing the trigger and watching it turn to powder.

Can't wait to go do it again

Yep, when your laughing right after a few splats, you know it's nothing but fun!

Yea I havent done skeet yet, but here its a riot. Boilers, as far as a class, just get out and do it. It really LOOKS harder than it is.

After that first day I shot about 6 rounds in the next 2 days. So much fun!

Yeah, it's a blast. So is sporting clays. And skeet.

Some day I'm going to get a medium end (like less then $10,000) gun. Or three.

MFG and 5 Point CC both have trap nights each week. 5 Point CC is on Thursday evenings 18:00 to 21:00, try to arrive as close to 18:00 as possible as the flights fill up pretty fast. Not sure on MFG but they have more lanes, better lighting, and probably a better chance to shoot several rounds.

there is an old guy at the atterbury range that is extreemly good at teaching people and would recomend him to anyone of any age

I may have encountered this gentleman yesterday. I took my new 870 and a friend with nearly zero firearms experience down to shoot some clays. I'd only shot clays from a cheap walmart thrower before this, so I had no concept of organized trap or skeet rounds. All of the fields but one were reserved for a trap league, and the remaining one was set up for skeet, so that's where we went. The guy at the counter had gone through the basics of scoring and rotation with us before we headed out, but having no experience it all sounded foreign to me. Seeing that we still seemed lost, the guy from the counter came out and introduced us to a man named Bob who would be happy to shoot with us and show us the ropes. Bob is an older gentleman with what appeared to be faded Navy tattoos on his fore arms. He showed great patience with us rookies and an amazing ability to teach. We would have been lost without him.

+1 for the staff at Atterbury and

for Bob.

If you really want to learn to shoot trap there is a guy named Leo Harrison III. He is the best in the world in my opinion. I've seen him run hundreds of targets straight in shoot offs. He travels the country shooting and teaching clinics. He shoots a high grade krieghoff K80 that's probably worth 30k+ which I'm sure was given to him. He is the best I've ever seen. His clinics are expensive but he can teach you how to shoot like a champion.
