Ya-- we used to shoot "Full choke skeet" with M12 Trap guns, way back in the before Sporting Clays and battutes era--I always liked what Nash Buckingham said about station 8--One friend broke 21 for 25 shooting "full choke skeet" with his M12 Trap gun- we found out later he was using paper spreader loads. Now what was real fun was shooting trap at night under lights- back in the days when a "White Flyer" was just that- white, none of this Hunter Safety orange stuff- and the old tracer loads--hard on the barrels I guess, phos loads ??- sorta like the "Willie Peter" parachutes flares getting airborne at O'dark thirty in I Corps sector USMC territory-

Back to night trap-when you fired, you were supposed to see with the tracer where your pattern was in relation to the clay-ten to a box if memory serves.
