Bill, the trap field was built in an old borrow pit near I-75. Rather than going down with the trap machine, I went up with the shooting posts. Sixteen yard posts are permanent, handicap posts are wooden stools one yard square that can be moved to the appropriate yardage mark. There are actually two trap machines. An Atlas AT-250 on an oscillator for singles and handicap and a Champion Doubles trap machine. Both are triggered with a foot petal. These are some old pics.

John, I have to think that your scores would go up if you changed the foot pedal for a voice release.

Bill, you may be right. However, it's all just practice on my field and none of it counts towards my ATA yearly averages. My singles/handicap machine does throw a harder left and right target than ATA dictates. My theory has been that practice should be more difficult than competition and I really haven't felt much of a disadvantage with the foot pedal but who knows.
As an aside, the Parkers finished the 2023 ATA target year with a Singles average of 97.13% out of 2650 registered targets, a Handicap average of 90.29% out of 2100 registered targets and a Doubles average of 91.95% out of 2000 registered targets. This left me at number 3 in the State for the second year in a row. And I owe it all to Parker Brothers of Meriden, Ct. and a little practice.
