Well I joined a trap league. Chilly's old co-workers had a team with space on it. We shot the first two rounds in the book last night 21 and 18. I may regret this as they're going to be my handicap rounds, but oh well. We shot at night, so I was wearing my regular glasses not my sunglasses, and we were shooting under the lights. I sort of like the lights. There's no visual distraction. Just glowing white bead and glowing orange clay. Put them together pull the trigger, make dust.
Also apparently most the guys don't shoot full chokes. Who knew? I figured all the trap guys used full chokes. Most of them were pretty well set on taking the slop that the modified chokes gave them. I have to say I like having a full choke, the sight picture is always the same when I break birds, it doesn't allow for much slop.
The other interesting thing is these guys let any bird they aren't on go. They just call for another one. That's against the rules, and yet, they do it quite brazenly, multiple times per round. Whatever. I guess the league is pretty loose about such things. It's not a habit I'd want to get into though.

Laura,
Stay hard core and don't compromise. You may not get the same inflated results as the rest of the league, but once they catch on to what you're doing you'll shame a few of them back from the dark side.
I guess it's pretty obvious Mom gave us both a good dose of guilt. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
Mark
