Ontelaunee has had bunker trap set up for decades. Alan Chubb was the driving force there. They hosted quite a few truly international events.

I know hammer guns are ok but Damascus barrels may not be allowed.
Mike, I'll bring popcorn. |

Anyone shooting #9 shot in bunker competition has already won a medal for pissing into the wind: the key to breaking long-range targets in bunker is a high velocity load of high-antimony content # 7 1/2 shot, plated shot is even better. The Italians brought over regulation competition loads for the annual Grand Prix at Ontelaunee that were within the 7/8 oz. limit for shot weight, but approached the velocity of steel shot waterfowl loads using an Oehler chronograph at the range. The notorious "Melior Meteors" clocked out at close to 1400 fps at 1 meter from the muzzle. "Fast targets, fast shot." Frank's chokes and XF tubes won't help you if you're using Wally World ballistic profile ammo; this most demanding of all shotgun games requires specifically designed ammo for reliable and consistent results in competition. |

Alan Chubb always put on a first class event program; everything started ON TIME, there were awards for every event class, and the machinery and layout were as good or better as any other facility in the US, which at the time, numbered less than 30 in the continental US. The facility still hosts registered shoots in the beautiful valley in New Tripoli PA, about 30 minutes northeast of Allentown PA. |
