but the international trap is really tough!

Skeet - tougher than trap? How do you figure?

Re: US Shooter wins gold in double trap
They shoot Bunker in the Olympics. Targets travel about 90 MPH and you get 2 shots at each. IIRC they can only use 7/8 oz. of shot. They fire 2 shots at every target even if the first shot smokes the target, just to keep the rythum of firing the second shot. A very tough sport.
Almost impossible to shoot 100 straight . 100 straight is not a big deal at an American trap shoot. I have done it 3 times and 199/200 twice.

Re: US Shooter wins gold in double trap
Targets travel a little over 60 mph (20 mph faster than American trap) and travel 83 yards if not broken (30 yards further than targets in American Trap), and at wider angles. Loads are 24 grams (12 grains lighter than 7/8 oz) at 1350 fps. And while they have two shots in singles, they don't use the second one unless they need it. IIRC, shoot offs are one target, one shot.Chuck 100 yd wrote:They shoot Bunker in the Olympics. Targets travel about 90 MPH and you get 2 shots at each. IIRC they can only use 7/8 oz. of shot.

Set angles, open chokes, and people shooting 100 straight with a .410? And that's a tougher game than trap?RIHMFIRE wrote:Awesome

Join me back at the 27 yard line, and tell me how much tougher skeet is than trap. ~Michael
