Are you right handed or left? RH shooters usually find the left side statins are easier to swing to/through- lefties the opposite.
Do you shoot a dedicated trap gun or a field gin? Fitted or stock? All of these factors will impact you ability to break clays at each station and yard line. OH, keep you head down too!
Do you have a coach or just shooting on your own? Get a coach if you want to make it work well, don’t if you want to shoot for fun. Often, you can buddy up with a top shooter and learn immense amounts of good or bad poop. Gotta figure out where you want to go.
Enjoy, but remember, it is a game that requires almost perfection to do well.
I gave up American trap after shooting international/hunter doubles in West Germany in the mid 80s. It was so much more enjoyable and rewarding...
I love field gin. Goes good with tonic water.
I’m a righty and use a stock field gun.
Right now I’m just shooting for fun but figure it would be more fun to knock down consistent 25s.
There is a place on the other side of town that has a bunker for international and I’d love to try that but want to get more consistent before I head that direction. They did, however, just add a wobble trap at the local range and that’s what I’ve been shooting the last few weeks.
