32" VHE VR trap gun...

I’ve tried everything except bunker trap and so far in my life as to what I prefer I’d have to say 1. Colombaire 2. Boxbirds 3. Skeet 4. ZZ Birds 5. Trap

International Trap is like pigeons. Once you try it, you can't get enough. International Skeet is almost as good. My years of I-Skeet were the best shooting years of my life. My dad took me out to National Capital Skeet and Trap when I was about 12, turned me loose. Many decades later, I retired as the senior member when the club closed.

William, the cure for seeing all the rib between the beads is: Remove the beads. Great shooting. Leave the Perazzi in the gun cabinet.

William, I never shot Bunker at Ontelaunee. I am a Life Member there but when I used to shoot there I was doing action pistol. That was many moons ago. I think Allan Chubb had something to do with the trap ranges? Up at North Mountain, Dan Hrabko is the guy I am familiar with. He also shoots at our place when he’s back from Florida. I never met Les Greevy, but for some reason I think he’s at Keystone?

Craig. It's a shame you didn't make Prospect Hall yesterday. The fitasc was a blast. I could do that every week. You also could have shot trap and skeet. BTW, columbaire coming in August.

Yes Chubb had "something to do with the trap ranges" like the San Andreas fault had to do with past CA earthquakes! Loved or hated him, he ran a tight ship and held some of the best international trap matches in the country. Grand Prix of America and the German Shoot come to mind. The Italians, longtime bunker fanatics, loved the place. Several of the more well-heeled Ontelaunee bunker shooters followed a Europa-Middle East circuit every year; starting in Germany, then on to Montecatini in Italy, Cyprus, Istanbul and Cairo.

One year in the GP of USA Michael Diamond and a buddy came all the way from Australia to "warm up" for the Olympics. They both remarked how competent and refined the bunker at Ontelaunee was; Diamond went on the win the gold medal in Atlanta in 1996 and in Sydney in 2000. My heyday there was 1990-2001. Greatest shotgun game in the world!
