That was most certainly years ago most shooters now myself included would have a cow over the little shell stands they saw fit to put at each station back then .

The shell box stands were very convenient for the fellows and gals who shot Skeet in their shirtsleeves and didn't have shooting jackets or vests with pockets.

Maybe so but buy a shell pouch and belt . Those stands would get in my way when I positioned on the stations . And while that sounds a bit anal it's true I find anything in front on me when I'm shooting to make me feel like somethings in the way . Same thing when they used to put those little stands at the 16 yard line in trap . And part of the game is shooting when you're comfortable .

Well, I'm glad to say we can't go back and change it. They add a bit of nostalgia to these shotgun games. Skeet sure has come a long way.

John, it would not surprise me in the least to learn it was drawn by WHF... but I have no evidence of that.

Scott has correctly mentioned that Kolar screw chokes are not convenient or even acceptable for sporting clays because you almost have to remove the tube to change the choke, unless they have changed something. Craig, can you change from skeet to "tight skeet" while the tubes are in the gun, easily?

Dunno never tried ! Don’t really care for that matter . Tight skeet would be for doubles at all stations or shoot offs anyway .

No Bill, not between shots at a doubles station...

The other thing to consider is I do not think you can use a tubed gun in the small bore events in Vintage Skeet.
