I've shot Trap and Skeet casually at a few ranges and havent had too many problems with people getting grumpy about etiquette but I had a recent experience that left me baffled. I usually shoot with a group of guys I used to work with, but I'm always willing to jump in to fill an empty position. No one has ever complained about my autos (Benelli M2 and Beretta 391 Optima) ejecting their shells wildly because they eject forward and right of me and foreward and left of the shooter on the right of me.
So I was invited to join a game of 16yd trap with a group of guys who were a sdhooter short and had a guy complain I was ruining his game because........I was switching handedness randomly. He said it was ruining his concentration and his ability to "flush out his surroundings".
Being a young guy I'm usually trying to play catch up with the proper way of doing things to keep the peace but this just seems silly to me. I should be able to shoot however I want that does not slow the rythym of the game or affect another player physically. He got all bent out ofshape and was talking about rules. I asked him to show me where in the club rules it says I can't do this and asked the other guys (ironically all around my age)
It makes 16yd trap much more fun when your right hand is competing with your left hand.
Anyone agree with me that this seems a bit silly?
