We used to have what they call 50/50 shoots between the area gunclubs for fun in the winter time . They were two rounds of skeet and two rounds of trap most folks used two different guns . At that time I shot both competitively and used seperate barrels on my old Krieghoff K-32 .

If I were still going to those shoots now I would most likely carry that W&C especially if it were a SxS shoot or if you were only allowed a single gun for both !

We have awobble motor on one of the trap machines . It's kinda fun to shoot Jap Wobble Trap also !
For that one you use the wobble trap in the trap house and shoot from the skeet stations . The killer of the game is you cannot leave a station until you break a bird . So technically you could burn up your whole 25 shells on station one !

Best I've ever done at that was 19 stations before I was out of shells, so I missed 6 times in that round .

If you spend alot of time around gunclubs you eventually see the uhm "difference of opinion" between skeet guys and trap guys !

Kinda like duck hunters versus quail/grouse hunters .

I shot both shotgun games ALOT and always figured if I could see the target I could break the target . When we got to doing Jap Wobble Trap some of the skeet guys would get all pissy as well as some of the trap guys . It was always fun to go out and shoot with those guys and add a little wager into the equation . I typically shot a SxS or a field grade O/U and generally I took their money !
