I wonder how the trap worked? I see the guy in the "hut" behind the shooters working a long lever which I assume runs the trap somehow.

What year do you think this video was taken? Clues would be the cars and dress attire of the era.

What looks to me Charlie talks about an over/under is at 5:53 of the video. If it is, who made it?

EDIT POST:

gawd... if I just read the title, there is the answer. 1926!

I'm not with it today...........
