I’ve been shooting trap league for about 8 years and last night I finally got my 25. I just figured it would never happen. I’m not a serious shooter. Hunting buddies using pumps to stay in shooting shape is all we go for. Any trap shooters out there?
Congrats Mike!
Took me a lot of lead to get my first 25…the next two came surprisingly quick.
I smoke a few now and then….

Do you think they would be willing to accomadate us at Oakdale Mike?

Congrats. 
Now that you have one under your belt, they will come more frequently.

Not sure about Oakdale. I’m a member at North Hudson and that place is real easy going. That would be my choice. Maybe later in the summer. My one night a week is already cutting into fishing time.

Congrats on the 25!!!
That would be a GREAT TIME!!!! The Brat and I would definitely be up for something like that. She is a good shooter for only having 1 year shotgunnin under her belt…..mid teens pretty regularly.

Great job 
I am in my first year of shooting league. I had a 24 last week, missed a straight away shot 
As for the GTG, Try getting ahold of Metro in Blaine. Great people. After shooting we fire up the grill and crack open a few

That’s pretty good, I’m just surprised you were able to stay awake for a whole round.

I have been shooting trap for 6 years now. I shoot handicap, yardage, and some sporting clays. I got my first 25 5 years ago and I have had a handful since. I have switched guns many times over the years, so I have a hard time being consistent. I mess with myself in the head too much also. I have missed the last bird many times because I psyched myself out.
Ron, any room for me out at Metro? I have been asked to join a couple teams out there, since they just tore my gun club down. I used to manage and shoot three nights a week at St. Anthony Gun Club.

That first 25 is the tough one. There will be 50s and 100s coming your way now 
I shoot two leagues a week and love it! Care to share what load you like? Does your league shoot handicap yardage as well as singles?

I’m not a serious shooter so no reloading or special guns. Although I shoot weekly and have been doing it for years its just for fun and mostly to stay in shooting shape. I think it really pays for accuracy and safety when gun handling is familiar and instinctive. I usually use AAA in 8 or 9 but my 25 came on 7 1/2’s.
