Don's correct being able to float the clay above the bbl in the sight picture. I was very careful to not blank the clay when I shot. I just felt soooo uncomfortable and mount so inconsistent I figured I wouldn't hit even 5/25 with it... phew. Not so. And these seemed like shots I can hit when shooting over the river at home with my eyes closed. Just rising straightaways with some angle on the side stations. What could be easier?! At home I let shots like that get out to at least 50yds just to make them seem not so easy; my long bbled hammer guns love those long ones... I wish I could go back today with any one of my Parkers to see how it would go. I've never shot official 'trap'; is that the usual with 5 stations in slight semi-circle with radiating handicap lines and a thrower out front that throws them wherever it pleases?? Trigg: I'm coming down to Anchorage Feb 3-4; we may have to go to Birchwood that evening and shoot under the lights when no one is watching and try this trap thing to see if it's as easy at it looks...
