In the mid 1970's I worked in London. The West London Shooting Grounds was on the way home just off the A-40 near Northolt. I did a fitting there and the procedure was just like what Phil Carr had done with only two exception. I was shooting a try-gun and the target was a round steel plate set about 10 ' off the ground. It was white washed after each shot. Then we went out for a lesson. It was my first experience with what I would call the for runner to modern Sporting Clays. You didn't know what was coming and out of nowhere there would be a rabbit or driven birds one behind the other from very high towers or a low going away clay. I never saw the traps. The short and long of it was I did not represent the United States very well that day. The try-gun fitted to me was very comfortable to shoot though.
