CJW Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 When I feel I need to practice flyers, I go to a local trap/skeet/clays range with my 12-round Benelli M2 Tactical. The place has a 24" barrel length minimum, so fortunately I have a Briley barrel extension. Good practice drill—report pairs with one in the gun and one on the Matchsaverz.

meanzbullet Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 A couple of us shot some trap at south river gun club after last years club championship 3 gun match at Atlanta 3 gun. A couple of really good trap shooters let us shoot with them. I broke I think 22 with my be Benelli and a light mod choke. They asked us if we wanted to shoot 27 yards with them. I took it as a token of respect for how we handled ourselves while enjoying their sport. I think i only broke 10 or 12 with my 21" gun and light mod choke but it sure was fun trying.

MarkCO Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Three of us hit the 5 stand for 2 rounds before the Nordic Match. We wore our Carbon Arms chest rigs and practiced load 1 and load 2 drills while shooting 5 stand. The puller enjoyed it, as did we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5gator Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ive not known too many shooters to be conventional haha. Ive shot a round of sporting clays with my mossberg 930 JM and had a blast as well as learned a lot. I say go with your game gun and enjoy all of the questions and interest that will come your way, might even get a few more guys or gals to join our sport.

HCH Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Take the fn, choke it properly, and really blow em out of the water when you load off your belt for the extra practice. Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk Thats what I've done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF1680 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I was big in to trap before getting into three gun and at the time I was working on my Saiga build. I took a half gray and metallic red gun out to the line I got many funny looks but ATA Trap has no rules about optics. I just had to shoot it single shot. After we got done i had a few people asking what it was. I got a few 10 rd mags and let people try it. I brought it out many more times before moving away from that club and always had fun. Since moving to Ohio I have taken it and a pink zombie versa max out to sporting clays. I think they are often conversation starters when on the range. Most of the time all you see are very nice wood stocks on over under or maybe a side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm31 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I would absolutely take your 3 gun shotgun. It's great practice and a great way to get gun guys and ladies into 3 gun when they start asking about your "snow goose shotgun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I built up a Stoeger 3020 for the kids and ran it thru the skeet range this past weekend. The boys teased me about my ugly gun a little but it shot well. I was 40/50 so good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerhunter9790 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yea I like shooting skeet with it. I normally get some weird looks until I shoot a 22-24. And I'll use the matchsaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 A rubber band works well as a shell catcher. I have a trap club nearby and would like to know how to set this up but I can't visualize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a rubber band around your ejection port? Birchwood Casey makes one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEMULE Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I enjoy shooting SC, trap, and skeet traditionally but am looking forward to doing some report pairs with match saver and loading on "pull". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) A rubber band works well as a shell catcher. I have a trap club nearby and would like to know how to set this up but I can't visualize it. I just slip a fat rubber band over the ejection port. Or better yet just try to stay to the right side of people. The idea is not to hit Gramps in the head with a shell casing. Also with Trap I rotate the gun away from the microphone so that charging the bolt doesn't throw a bird. Edited April 26, 2016 by Frankly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockader Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I shot 2 rounds of 5 stand a few weeks ago with my 24" 1301 with +6 tube, wallered out port, and stage saver. I did pretty well except on the rabbits, and the 2 other dudes there wanted to look at my gun. Sure was fun, though it would have been more fun to be able to put in more than 2 shells in at a time. I also have a rotating electric skeet thrower on my porch that throws out over my pasture. Nothing like loading in 11 rounds and having the wife keep em coming!
