I am a lefty who grew up with RH guns only.   I had to pop the safety then put my finger into the guard.  Pheasant hunting when heavy gloves were needed would result in an unintended discharge.   But being otherwise safe it was never a problem or big scare.  I always let my friends think it was just a miss.     I could still make the follow up shot. It seemed to happen about once per season.  I have a lefty now.

I used to hate going near the trap and skeet ranges at my former gun club.  It seemed that muzzle control and not pointing your firearm at other people was OK if the action was open...I still didn't like it.  

I guess that remembering and abiding by the the rule of "don't point your firearm at anything you don't want to destroy" makes me a Fudd...I can live with that.

I've never had some asshole behind the line yell "How'd ya like that one Johnny Miller?!" when the bird came out of the trap house, so, I'd say Trap is a bit ahead of golf.

Club where I used to shoot Trap had 'club guns' that were available for anyone to use.  There were O/Us and autoloaders in both 12 and 20.  The monthly shoots were open to the public and even if you were a complete newb and wanted to try it for the first time, you were welcome.  We'd shut down the line and Mike, the Shotgun Dude, would take the time to teach them how to safely handle/load/shoot/etc., one at a time or in small groups with the help of the other RSOs/experienced shooters.  They'd get a chance to shoot 5 or so birds from the 'beginner line' and if they liked it they were invited to shoot a round with the group.  Someone would be standing right behind them while they shot to make sure they stayed safe.

We welcomed everyone, especially inexperienced shooters or those new to shooting.  What better opportunity to teach them?

We would allow any type of shotgun, as long as it was safe to shoot and was handled safely.  Saw a few interesting ones.

One of the "Boomer Fudds" (not me, though I qualify) had a Martini-Henry(?) 12ga. single-shot that he'd bring out occasionally.  That was always fun to watch.  Sometimes you'd see the guys with their tactical gear/guns, but they'd be there just for fun to see if they could hit the birds.  Usually one round and then "Thanks, guys!  That was fun!".  

The best shooter there was a gentleman in his 70s who was still shooting in competitions.  He could break birds 10 feet, or less, in front of the trap house, his reaction time was insane.  He'd always get teased about shooting the roof of the trap house, but he never really did.

Strangely enough, or not, my favorite guns for trap are also my favorite guns for hunting; Ruger Red Label 20ga. (quail, grouse, dove), Winchester SX2 12ga (pretty much anything), or the Mossberg 835 Ulti-mag that I use for goose hunting.


I don't really GAF what you shoot.  Be safe, have fun.

Being unsafe proved he was an idiot, but not allowing him because his gun doesn't look right plays right into the left's hands. A shotgun is a shotgun. If it's harder to shoot trap with a gun like that big deal-it'll make it easier for you to shoot a higher score than his.

I think trap can be a little too pretentious and boomer, but as the poster above me said there is an expected etiquette. Their range their rules, respect that or go shoot on private land.

Hell yeah buddy! You shouldn't even be allowed to step foot on a trap range with anything less than a Beretta Silver Pigeon  Seriously, this site seemingly goes deeper down the fudd hole every day.  I guess boomers are finally discovering the internet. One of my favorite things to do is show up to the local trap range with my 18" barreled, police trade in 870, with surefire fore end, side saddle, and blaze orange furniture and outshoot all of the fudds and their high end O/U's.  The dirty looks and snarky comments are well worth it. They generally get quiet after I outshoot them.  I even have several Beretta O/U's and semis, but sometimes I just like shooting a round with my trash can gun. As long as the shooter is safe (the guy in the OP clearly wasn't) I don't care what they shoot.

Then they went over to the pistol range where a bullseye match was being held, and shot 900/900 with a G19. Really showed those fudds with their Feinwerkbaus and Pardinis how it's done.

But they don't compete in those sports in big matches, because they're boringly easy.

Remember the guy who turned a deactivated RPG into a shotgun? I can't find the thread, or even remember what forum it was on. I think it was the same place where the guy made an AK receiver out of a shovel. There was discussion about taking the RPG/shotgun to trap or skeet range. I don't know if it ever happened, but this picture got posted and I thought it was pretty funny:

Release triggers are the devil.  

There are several shot patterns on the trap houses of the club I shoot at due to people and their release triggers.  I don't think they're safe.  I'm a skeet shooter and rarely shoot trap.

Many semi-autos work great as single shots. Drop a shell in. Close the bolt/action. Fire. Bolt locks back. Repeat.

Absolutely no one thinks showing up at a trap/skeet/sporting clays shoot with a mag-fed shotgun is cool, edgy, or marks you as a badass. It's exactly like showing up to a precision rifle match with a Tapco'd SKS. Stop it. And stop telling us about the time you went 25/25 with one and showed the boomers who's boss. No one believes that.



THIS.  I don’t know of any clays range that allows tactical shotguns.  Good way to keep out idiot noobs who can’t hit shit.  Lol at the lies where guys with 18 inch barrels and open chokes are outshooting ANYBODY.  Maybe in trap, but no way in sporting clays.  Trap is for the old guys who can’t walk anymore.

Bonus points to anyone who shows up and shoots a round with a judge in .410. I've tried it a few times, but have mostly been unsuccessful. If you break 1/5 clays you're doing really good.

Most mag fed shotguns are designed to strip a round from the mag to slow down bolt velocity. You telling him to just drop a shell in the ejection port may have actually contributed to the ND as many free floating firing pin guns will go off if a round is inserted into the chamber and the bolt is closed. The bolt does not slow down it's velocity stripping the round from the mag and the firing pin may have enough retained energy to set off the primer. Some commercial primers will get an AR to fire when the bolt is closed on a chambered round for the same reason.

After reading this thread all I really want to do is show up at my local trap club to shoot wearing nods, plates, belt ext. That would be some funny shit.

You'd be welcome on our skeet field.  Not so much the trap side though.

Taken this morning at the skeet field.  

I rest my barrels on my foot enough to start wearing a hole in the top of my shoe.  Which is good, because I'm shooting a lot, and bad, because it's wearing a hole in the wrong side of the shoe.

They make a magnetic bbl rest that works pretty good and would save your shoes.  Small rubber pad with a magnet that sticks to your bbl end,  step on the pad when you lift your muzzle to shoot.

If someone showed up to my trap range with a tac vest I would tell him to take it off or take a hike. Trap is a etiquette game, a lot like golf.


I dont care if you want to play navy seal dress up over on the rifle and pistol ranges but keep that shit off my trap range.

LOL, I have been kicked off a trap range for showing up with a 590 and instead of resting it on my foot, I affixed the bayonet and poked it into the ground while I was waiting.  Oddly enough they didn't buy my assertion that it was safer.

I still go to the other local range that has trap shoots, about 1x a month.  I bring one of my 3 gun SGs, start low ready, call pull, port load and shoot.  I get funny looks, but its not against any rules.
