I recognize Sparrow Young with the round glasses and the suspenders and Mark Arie. Mark Arie was one of 3 who won Olympic gold in trapshooting for the USA. James Graham won in 1912, and my friend Don Haldeman won in Montreal in 1976.

When I was a teen, I set trap at my local club. I'll always remember that Winchester trap had a half moon platten and a skinny throwing arm. There was a pin driven by a solenoid that would come up and stop the arm rotation allowing you to put the bird on the trap. This damn pin would sometimes not come up in time and the arm would not stop. Scares the hell out of you when this happens. You learn real quick to come straight down from overhead when you place the bird on the trap!

or if someone keeps there finger on the button
