Interesting but, isn't it a bit optimistic to call an event an "International Championship" when the range capacity is only 30 shooters?

I didn’t notice the 30 shooter part . That would be a bit disappointing !

I believe “international” refers to the type of trap and skeet. That is, international trap, or bunker, and international skeet. Different setup and rules compared to American trap and American skeet.

I'm not a trap shooter. 20-21 is good for me. Shot 3 rounds of bunker at Hillsdale college. Remember you are allowed 2 shots at each bird. I shot 5,6, and 1.

Doubt I'll shoot it again

I wanna try bunker trap before they throw the dirt on top of me . International skeet I’d try as well but low gun and faster targets isn’t gonna make it easy .

I have always shot Skeet with low gun (at my waist) regardless of the gun I used. Never broke 25 but a lot of 24’s, 23’s, 22’s etc.
I was shooting a friend’s Perazzi low gun and when I got to station 8 low he told me in his heavy Greek accent “No, no - mount da gun! You can no break dem wit a low gun. Mount da gun o you gonna shoot way behin dem!”

I proceeded to turn them both into “diesel smoke”. He said “I canno believe dat, I canno believe!”

As far as I know the only true bunker trap set up in NY is at Binghamton Gun Club. 15 traps set to go at three different angles each I believe. It is FAST. I've shot it a dozen times, best score I've gotten was 21, the worst was like a 12. I would think an XF choked SBT gun would a blast but you sacrifice that second shot you're allowed. By the time you get your second shot off I think that bird is at 50+ yards away. Vernon and Rochester Brooks have "international trap" but it's not a true set up, there are only 3 or 5 traps I believe on a wobble set up. There is a gentleman who built this setup with his own money some years back who was trying to make the 2004 Olympic trap team (he didn't make the final cut but still shoots there). There is also international skeet there but that's way too freaking fast.
