    I just want to say, thank you for uploading this. I'm moving to a place with a trap field 20 minutes away, want to learn, and it's nice to see a raw video like this with nothing fancy, just a full round played with no cuts or wild camera angles. Gives me a good feeling for how the rhythm and pace of a round typically is.

    Thanks for watching! That guy is me and it's pretty common to rest your barrel on your toe if you shoot a break open gun like I have. They actually make toe tabs so you don't get rings and soot on your shoes. Any other gun than a break open and I'll agree with you 100%, but with the breach open, and the shell primer totally removed from the action, there's no practical way the gun could discharge in that position . It is the golden rule in shooting, and for that I thank you for bringing it up.

    25 chipped birds beats 24 "Smoked" ones any day. But there is a cool factor in totally smoking a clay.

    Matt, I totally agree with you (how can anyone argue with Dan Carlisle?) but a couple of things of note. 1. It's compressed video, so we're shooting faster than we were in real life. 2. For new shooters, I agree with Phil Kiner on the subject of speed. Speed is not the desired result but the end result of good technique. Good technique includes good target acquisition, and a nice smooth, economical move to the bird. In other words, desire to use good fundamentals and let the shot cadence be dictated by that.

    • @xxstarforbrianxx
      @xxstarforbrianxx 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good call, I see some people trying too hard to shoot the bird faster just for the sake of looking fast. You can win the race but still lose the war.
      By the way, how'd you get the targets to show up so well? I was a told a neutral density filter should help on sunnier days. I've uploaded a few vids on my channel of me shooting at local ATA shoots and the targets are barely visible. I'm using a GoPro Hero 3 White Edition in 720p 30 FPS.

    When you have a bunch of experienced shooters on the line, you get a rhythm where every person only takes like 2 seconds to shoot. It really helps the flow of things, and I find I shoot better in that kind of setup.

    @Crich It's perfectly acceptable to close your breach prior to the other shooter taking a shot. That shooter you are referring to is me and I have shot competition for over 20 years. It is advisable however if you are a new shooter, to wait till it's your turn to close your gun.

  • @walman16
    @walman16  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The reason I posted this video was to show an actual round of American Trap. Too many video's on TH-cam of people shooting clay targets from a spring or hand thrower, which is all fun, but not trap. I thought it was time to just show a round of trap.....that's why I named the video Real Trapshooting. Thanks for watching!

  • @walman16
    @walman16  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    All adjustable combs work the same way. The more you raise your comb, the higher the gun will shoot. My advice would be to make minor adjustments up or down until the gun shoots where you look. When I make any kind of adjustment, it's small and I mean like millimeters, then I'll shoot at least 50 shells through it. By the way the target breaks, I can then figure out if I need to raise or lower the comb and then I'll make another small adjustment. Hope this helps!

    Hi Joe,
    Thanks for watching! I appreciate the compliments! Just so you know, this is American Trap, not Bunker, so the house is of regulation height for American Trap. Secondly, I forgot my shell catcher but rest assured I policed my empties and disposed of them properly after this video was taken but good point. Shouldnt leave this stuff on the ground. Shoot to win! Allen

    • @SilntObsvr
      @SilntObsvr ปีที่แล้ว

      First trap day coming up for me, and since I'll be shooting my own reloads, I hope to be able to collect my empties to use the hulls again (given the hull is about 30-40% of the cost of a birdshot reload in 2023).

    • @walman16
      @walman16  ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SilntObsvr just remember to take a pouch for your empties. I forgot mine that day but it’s a small club so I policed mine after shooting. I dont reload any more. Cost of lead went through the roof!

    • @SilntObsvr
      @SilntObsvr ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@walman16 I had a carpenter's nail belt that had room for a box of shells in one side and all the empties in the other, but I couldn't find it (nor my electronic muffs) so I bought one that's made specifically for shotgun sports; one section exactly fits a full box of 2 3/4 shells, the other will hold (they claim) up to 50 empty hulls.
      Price of lead may be high, but...
      At 15 cents for a primed hull (all plastic, I'll probably get half a dozen reloads out of each), 2 1/2 to 3 cents a wad (Claybusters and Ballistic Products clone wads), $65 for 25 lb of reclaimed shot (roundly 13 shells to the pound for 1 1/8 ounce loads so twenty cents for the shot), and 15+ grains of powder ($40/lb, that's about 8 1/2 cents per shell), I figure my per-shell cost for loading my own at around 47 cents a shell -- with target loads running $10 a box, I'm not saving anything, but you can't always find them at $10/box -- and every time I reload a box of shells, the cost for each shot drops a little. Primers by the 1000 are about 6 cents, so that brings my load cost down to just about the same as Estate or Fiocchi target loads.
      And I can cast slugs, buckshot, or punkin balls for a couple bucks a pound (plus shipping, but I can get 25 lb of ingots shipped for under $15), once I have the molds; that makes it cheaper to shoot slugs or buckshot (that I have molds for) than birdshot.

    I'll agree with you in one respect, it's a lot of bucks for a stock. I had one for several years when I shot my Kreighoff. One thing I did like was the recoil reducer. I didn't care much for the comb that it came with or the Ultimate Fit comb I put on it. I know people that swear by them though.

    Trap shooting is the best!! Last time I went to the gun range I got to shoot these really cool assault rifles at a stationary target. It was cool but I was like, "Okay where's the trap? I like shotguns better." :) Nothing beats a shotgun. Except maybe a paintball gun. LOL

    Yes. Though you can't shoot anything larger than 12 gauge, there is no rule prohibiting you from shooting down to .410. All the competition American Trapshooters I know shoot 12 gauge however.....

  • @SilntObsvr
    @SilntObsvr ปีที่แล้ว

    That's quite the shooting pace. I'll be shooting my first trap day ever next weekend, my only shotgun is an 870 Express, and I'll be asking before the shoot about things like loading the magazine for a round vs. single loading (which would surely slow me down, I'm not an experienced shotgun shooter, even though I've seen it done on film at remarkable speed). I've shot skeet once, two rounds, broke one target; hopefully I'll do better at trap with all the targets going more or less away from me and no doubles to worry about.
    Edit: Okay, found a good page on trap, single loading only unless shooting doubles (I won't be doing that until I can hit 20+ in a round of singles, though I might try wobble trap sooner). I need to get one of those from-the-box pouches, then...

    • @SilntObsvr
      @SilntObsvr ปีที่แล้ว

    If you watch the video, you'll see we only have 4, but the same rules apply if you have 5, 3, 2 or even one shooter. The leftmost shooter always starts the first round of 5, and once everyone is rotated, that shooter starts that next round of 5 and soforth until everyone has shot 5 shots at all 5 posts. Thanks for watching, hope that helps!

    I have choke tubes, but you might as well weld a full choke in my gun as I use it for everything expect first shot in doubles. My choice of tubes for singles (what I'm shooting here) is not the norm though. A lot of shooters use light full, improved modified, improved cylinder for singles. Earlier in my career I messed around with choke tubes and patterning but found eliminating that variable helped my mental performance more than any gains choke tubes could provide, but do what works best 4 U!

    Thanks for watching. This isn't my regular club but the terrain is mostly loamy soil with tall pines in the background. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the way this trap is laid out but it's only a small parcel of land so they made the most of it. I prefer skyline targets myself (no trees).

  • @walman16

    A call is a personal thing. At the start of the video, guy on Post 1 (post most left) yells Keeeeahhh!, I'm next to him and yell Ahhhhhh!, Next to me calls Pull!, Guy on Post 4 is my dad and he's yelled Hoooowwwww! as long as I can remember. The reason I don't call pull is threefold. 1) I don't have to move my mouth and possibly disrupt my sight pattern, 2) It's a uniform noise that trips the machine in a consistent release and 3) Concentration. I don't have to worry about calling "pull"

    Everything a serious shooter does has a purpose. When you call "pull" you have to move your mouth which could disrupt your sight picture, especially when you cheek the gun hard like me. It also serves the purpose of providing a uniform noise to the mic.

    The game you're viewing is Singles and you are correct, of the three American Trap events, Singles is the easiest in one respect, but the mental aspect of Singles is very challenging. You have to be perfect usually through 200 shots to make a shootoff and then another 200 to win. Hard part about Skeet is shooting smaller gauges. For me, ( I'm not trying to start a war with a bunch of pantyhose wearing Skeet shooters), 12 gauge Skeet is a cake walk. Learn the leads, there's no variables...

    I just give you a hint. Skeet and Trap are two completely different disciplines, so they also have other rules. I would say, come to a ISSF trap event, and shoot the gun unmounted on your shoulder. That would be your first and last try to shoot trap at that event..
    So next time you want to sound like a pro, read the rules!

    Great score! Keep up the good work! My only advice is get some good instruction early if you're interested in being a serious shooter. It's easier to develop good habits than it is to undo bad ones!

    Hello walman16, realizing that the group in this video were all veteran trap shooters, out of curiosity, can you recall if all were using release triggers? Thank you so much for this!

      Oh geez, this was in 2009. Only one of those guys I’m not 100% sure about but the rest of us shoot pull triggers. Thank goodness I never had to go to a release.....yet

    It sounds like the guys on the ends are calling "fire" while the guys in the middle are calling "pull." Is that correct and, if so, why call it that way?

    my Husband & I are new to trap shooting. we really enjoy it and are currently in the waiting period to pick up our own guns :)
    I have searched the net for this answer. it might seem unimportant but it bugging me :P
    when I watch pro trap or skeet the shooters 99.99% of the time powder the target however standard every day people shooting clays it never powders in the same way always just breaks apart what is different?

    • @ethanpham5624
      @ethanpham5624 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      They use clays with powder in them so it's easily seen by th officials.
      Regular clays just break unless you "powder" thm in which you get a majority of your shot on it.

      I've still seen people dust rocks but for trap shooting it's pretty rare. Still the pro rounds have different clays they use.

      Kar Cam I used to date a girl I have been shooting trap for around twenty years at the time. She wanted to get into it. But she just couldn't pass the hunter education course. So instead of helping her study for it I just told her it would be best if you work the concession stand serving food and beverages. I also told her that is where a woman belongs anyway. She left me after that best thing that could happen to me.

    No cheating here (don't know what you mean by camping but no one pitched a tent). The machine we're shooting targets from is set to ATA standards. Nothing easy about hitting a 4 5/16" inch clay disk flying from an oscillating machine with an interrupter travelling at 67 FPS. Compund that with the event we're shooting, 16 yards or singles where you essentially have to be perfect through at least 100 birds (some events are 200) to win. Come, shoot, and if you shoot with me, play the money!
