I found this short video (2:11 minutes), describing the difference between these two Trap shooting sports interesting. It's present by Kayle Browning who is a Olympic Shotgun meadalist. Although I've never participated in trap shooting (I have done Sporting Clays), it looks like something I could get into.

It's Federal Season

They’re not just dates on the calendar. The sacred moments between opening day sunrise and the last glimmer in the West at season’s close make up a tradition like no other.

My sportsman club has a great trap range, the NRA helped and funded some of it, we used to have matches on Monday evenings, but interest has faded over the years

I moved from trap to skeet in the 80's. Clays were big in the USAF back in the day as the clay sports had been used to teach pilots and gunners about leading targets. Nowadays it just seems to be us Boomers at the clays fields

Mine does too (American Trap), every Monday and Wednesday's. I'm told (I just joined), that they are more than willing to teach anyone that wants to try it, even those without experience (like me). I just need to go there on one of those days and ask (or watch the first few times).

Good video. I have never shot trap competitively and I have never shot International Trap.

Yup me neither. But I did enjoy the heck out of Sporting Clays, so I'd probably like it if I knew the rules and such. I bought a Stoeger M3500 Semi Auto for clays, and so far it's worked fine. They're under the Beretta/Benelli family although not as good although much cheaper.

Yep, sporting clays ( or as we rednecks call it, skeet) for me too.

I'm going to be braising the vent rib back on a Stoeger M3500. Or more accurately, silver soldering a couple of the bases back on that broke loose.

My old man nearly bought a Stoeger some years back. He always wanted a Citori and really couldn't afford one. I almost bought him a Citori a couple years ago, but it seemed pointless as he doesn't hunt or shoot anymore. And I prefer side by sides.

If you want to be quick on shooting then try hunting blues. They'll run 100 miles before they'll fly. Bobwhites on the other hand they'll fly up your nose. Kinda cqb with them.

Or woodcock. Squirrely little bastards. A woodcock knows precisely where he will fly to before he's flushed and they never take a straight line there. They fly low and fast, unlike quail. They have a relatively small range though and once you push them out of it they get stupid.


I've never seen blue quail. I thought they were only in Africa or something?
