With two months till trap season, I would like some tips on preparing for the season. My predictamint is I'm trying to beat a very good shooter and my normal average is just a few clays under his... I need to be at the top of my game to compleate this. So, any tips or tricks?
take a lesson form a qualified instructor.. i'm not a trap shooter but shoot skeet and sp clays on a regular basis. Its tough to up your average a few birds especially if you have been shooting the same game for some time. New shooters averages go up quickly as they learn then plateau

You have the 1 oz. #8 at 1180 fps.......... light recoil ( #9 skeet )
the heavy recoiling I 1/8 oz. 3 dram at 1200 fps with 8 or 7.5 lead pellets (Handicap)
or you can master the 1 1/8oz. 7 1/2 lead pellet at just 1145 fps that will do it ALL.........................
just a matter of learning the amount of lead for the yardage the clay is at !!
No blown patters with the lower speeds, also.
At the Anny Oakley or 27 yard $5 in the cap fun shoot...........
My slow load would have the fast load guys pulling their triggers, just as the clay would break, thinking
that I missed the shot. Got to love it !!
You can use #8 pellets when starting out, but they are only good to around 50 yards.
I am happy to announce that season has started and I have succesfully been averaging around 22.5, and hit a fair number of 25s. I competed with him and he shot a 22 and a 25. I won the competition with a 23 and 25! Happy day
