Live bird gun?

Rules vary from club to club, but if you're shooting 50 cent cartridges at a ten dollar bird, give em a dollars worth each. The ammo is the cheapest part of the shoot.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen a "dead" bird get up and get over the fence.

Back when I used to practice shooting hand thrown birds, we used a wobble trap set up on a platform so that the release height from the ground was about 7', and the minimum launch angle high enough to just clear the wire. We would always shoot "pieces" of the target for barrel number two, even if it was just a puff of grey dust.
