Mark,
Gotta throw my 2 cents in on this one. If you think shooting clays is stupid and boring then then you are shooting with the wrong guys at the wrong clubs. I, along with two of my best friends, shot live birds throughout PA in the 70's and 80's at all the main clubs. Hegins, Vally View, Powderbourne before they were a clays club, Straustown, North Kill, and many more small now defunct clubs as well as Malloy's down south and ones in Illinois. So I consider myself qualified to comment. I now shoot live birds about 6-8 times a year. Back then as now my prefered gun was a sxs choked .020-.025 right, .035-.045 left, double triggers because they go bang every time. Single triggers are just not reliable on the older Parkers. I shoot the boring and stupid game of clays because it allows me to pull the trigger just about whenever I want and hanging out with good friends is a bonus. If you really want a challenging event to shoot why not join me at a Columbaire shoot. I'm doing one this weekend and another at the end of this month. Trust me- box birds are fun but Columbaire is the ultimate live bird event. If you've never done it you should try it. No boring or stupid stuff going on here. If you are interested PM me. I also have a 32" F/F, vent rib trap gun {Parker of course] that you can shoot if you like although it has double triggers.
Regards,
Daryl
