    I used to shoot some Tony. I used a Remington pump with an improved cylinder and loaded my own shells. I used 7/8th oz. of 7 1/2 shot and with windjammer 8 fluted wads. The wads opened up right after they left the barrel and with the burning speed of 700X powder I just aimed at the leading edge of the pidgeon. It was alot of fun and remember to get the gun up fast and follow through, good luck.

    I’m going to try and shoot some trap this year. Dabbled in it last year and really enjoyed it.

    I picked up a new Caesar Guerini – 12 ga. Tempio. I played around with it last fall pheasant hunting and really liked it. Anybody shoot trap at the Plymouth Gun Club?
