I was the trap officer today for 8 hours up at Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Club... sat and watched folks fight the clay pigeons. I kept score in the morning, learned how to operate the thrower, and then at least learned how to replenish the 'birds' and stack the boxes.
Two 'regulars' showed up and shot, and shot... this one guy had what looked like a bionic stock for his shotgun. No wood on the stock... just metal with all these movable parts (a weight, etc)... I was like, 'woah there - space shotgun!'
Some very fun folks out shooting. Didn't see a single person shoot a 25.
100 degrees outside and in, in Northern CA.... the birds were really rising over a thermal just below the station. Interesting to note how the bird shifts in flight in near misses... never saw that before. Judging by the way the bird moves as the shot passes, you can tell how it was missed.
Fun spectator sport!
