Not the same thing. You may not know how to play golf well, but I bet you'd have some good opinions on how to improve the snack bar at the local golf...

Too bad Neil's gone. He wasn't always the gentleman on this forum, in fact he could be rather ugly at times, but I enjoyed the information he worked...

Be curious to know what the winner received....?

Ninety percent of sporting clays targets are tougher than trap. Plenty of shooters..chicken-types and otherwise....are paying money to shoot...

Trap league rules are set by the league committee. This includes the yardages and targets. You can make league targets as hard or as easy as the...

While I agree with the rest of your post, I cannot agree with that one statement. I think there will be more collective/total complaining by making...

As a habitual flincher, I vote to eliminate the FTF rule. If you call for the bird and it comes out in a timely manner, you either break it or it is...

Since the health of ATA-type trap depends largely on new shooters coming into the sport, and since new shooters don't give a second thought about...

Looking at the DTL rules, the only difference I can see is that DTL allows two shots over American (ATA-style) Trap. How could having two shots make...

Well, I think we can agree that SOMETHING needs to change. Be it additional yardage, additional angle, additional speed, or restricting guns to 28...

Hmmm...first you say increasing target distances will not equalize competition. ^ Then you say we should increase the distance: You are confusing...

Where I shoot, the handicap events on a particular field/trap machine takes place after the singles events are done. Would it be possible to simply...

Another easy way to equalize the handicap system would be to add 15 mph to handicap target speeds. Be a lot cheaper than moving trees/light...

Another good example of Semperfi909 saying it far better than I could.

Perhaps your question(s) should be directed towards Semperfi909. He's already explained it better than I could.

Primer pocket in the shell, not firing pin hole in the receiver.

Unfortunately, that old rule of thumb has been debunked for a long time. It told you more about how long your arms are than how long the stock...

Both barrels are still in the same positional relationship with the rib, they're just not vertical to the force of gravity.

Maybe should say "AMERICANTRAPSHOOTER.COM" to differentiate between a member of this forum and the run-of-the-mill person who has USA citizenship and...

Oh, yes.

Did you pattern both chokes from the same barrel??

I said INconsistency came from the shooter. Guns are consistent. Shooters...many times....are not.

No. I would qualify for that class in a very few years and I can hold my own with the millennials...... I remember shooting against a Mr. Snow in...

Okay, what does the "FG" stand for?

Okay, how is lock time determined? Lock time is from which event to which event? Is this standardized? How does an "electronic tester" receive its...

While not all ATA trapshooters are mentally defective, from what I've seen on the other website some of them could use the help of a good...

Then you were shooting over them...?

Inconsistent shooting comes from the shooter, not from the gun.

My wife and her younger sister. The reasons are legion.

Interesting concept, DLS, but it will not be accepted. First problem would be getting every sanctioning organization world-wide to agree on it. Then,...

"...top single barrels becoming more popular than unsingles" ?? I daresay they've ALWAYS been more popular than unsingles.

Do what everyone else does: cook 'em as many at a time as possible (in your case, six) and have people eat them as they become available. If...

Of course that's the way it works. If you raise the comb, you raise it in relationship to what? The answer is: the rest of the gun....of which the...

Slamming an O/U shut or slamming a car door shut doesn't hurt the hinges. It may well place additional stress/wear on the latching mechanism,...

That was my point. Instead of saying "I would think it would be more a function of the distance between the top of the comb and the plane of the...

I would think it would be more a function of the distance between the top of the comb and the plane of the rib.

I agree; it's a personal thing. The "rule of thumb: 1 1/2 to 2" from nose to thumb" is a good place to START, but it can go either way from there. I...

It's going to take a new, 5-figure K- or P- gun to get you that last 1 or 2 birds....you know that, don't you?

As one who has decades of machining experience, I'm trying to figure out how you were supposed to use the lapping compound if the choke tubes won't...

I believe the "head erect"/"upright stance" has merit for some people. For instance, when I tilt my head to come into the correct sight picture with...

Don't get too hung up on .005" constriction. That .005" constriction is far less important than what those two chokes produce in YOUR gun, with YOUR...

I've done both of those things, without much relief. Thanks for the suggestion, though, I appreciate it.

Are you blind in your off-eye?

Mmmmmmm...yes, I can.

Well, there are two big waterfowl hunting forums. They seem to be able to co-exist and thrive....

I have to agree. Shooting is one sport where women can and do compete on an equal footing with men. Hell, some young teens can compete on an equal...

And why do you suppose he chalked his rib with white chalk? Maybe it was so he could SEE it better..???

Open your other eye. Seriously, when we talk about "seeing the barrel", we are including the rib, which is a part of the barrel.

I believe you are right. I also believe one cannot shoot consistent straights if one cannot see the barrel during the shot.

GoPro is a very progressive company. Their products are constantly evolving and newer, more advanced models are being introduced all the time....
