My father shoots trap - a lot. And that's an understatement.
He uses a custom-fitted Benelli and does very, very well. In fact, he just placed in the top 5 in the country in his age group!
I've gone out with him a few times, and usually plink off somewhere around 15-18 targets. So I'm about average.
Then I went to his friend's private, custom built facility. Words cannot describe this place. It's something like a golf course, but for trap. It has, I don't know, 50 or so "holes" where each place is set up different from the next. Sometimes the targets will scoot across the ground, other times they'll shoot nearly straight up, or skip across water, or even bounce off trampolines. It's crazy stuff. It has a couple of "courses", a regular trap range, a rifle range, and camping facilities. I guess this place holds an annual event as part of the professional tour, but other than that, it's totally private. It's world class. One of the members is ranked #8 in the world.
Suffice to say, I don't shoot when I'm around these guys.
