Vintage double trap

[Big D]

"the Olympic bunker layout and rules will fry your brain!" If you think the rules are tough, try shooting the game. I shot 3 rounds last summer, and scored 4. 5. and 1. (2 shots allowed per bird) Now, I'm not going to win the Grand American, but i can normally shoot 20+ on American trap.
If I never shoot Bunker again it will be too soon!

Forgot to add... Once you have it all done, grab two boxes of shells and shoot 5 pair per post. The fun has begun...

C,

I'd give this guy a buzz!! He broke the record back in May, and despite his choice of scattergun, is obviously quite talented.

I shot the game hard for 10 years with some of the best shooters in the world. At the last US Grand Prix of America held at Ontelaunee Rod & Gun Club in New Tripoli PA (just north of Allentown), I volunteered along with 2 others to score the final shootoff round for the Gold Medal. Out of a squad of 6 shooters, there were 4 x 25s, 1 x 24 and 1x23. Winners, of course, had to be calculated for Silver, Bronze, and HOA as well by using the "long run" rule(s).

At my "peak shooting career" in bunker, I could break 17-19 with luck in registered competition. One day I showed up very late for the last practice rounds before the registered shoot the next day, thinking the range was open until 5 PM - surprise! (it closed down at 3!). I shot the last 2 available practice rounds of the day, nervous, rushed, harried & etc. - and shot 2 x 24s back to back! Closest I ever came to that "Olympic Rush"! If you think you know how to handle a shotgun, try it sometime.......

I was friends with Don Haldeman who won Olympic gold in trapshooting in i think 1976. He fitted a replacement Parker stock to my SC SBT, recut the checkering and refinished it. Not easy refitting a Parker stock if it's not original to the gun. He died to soon.
