My GF and I trapshoot about 10 times a year. Every second weekend or so in the summer. It's a great way to spend a day in Calgary. We drive down to a club south of the city, with an amazing view, chat with some of the old boys, shoot a couple rounds, then head home.

I've taken many non-gun people trapshooting with me and I think it's changed their perspective on what responsible gun ownership is all about.

DJ Shadow? I know Spook...I saw Shpongle twice..planning to see Ott soon...
uh...McKenna anyone?

What's trapshoot?

Count me in as a sport shooter.

Kirk, yes I have kids. And yes kirkwood is looking GOOD! Bridger is off to good start as well.

I trap shoot often in the summer months. I have a few old WWII rifles that I don't shoot, an old lever action .22 my grandfather gave me before he passed, and two handguns. I have a carry permit, but I honestly never carry.

She stands too far back when she shoots! I don't know why so many people do that?!? Should be leaning forward into the gun to counter the kickback.

Here's me at the Calgary club...

A lot of people do it.. Then wonder why they lose their balance.

This was a group of us that went to a spot in MD. My Remington 870 is the green on on the rack. A friend of mine was on the line in this pic

Sweet! I used an 870 for a long time and still keep it as my spare gun. Picked up a used Browning Citori O/U this summer for trap and skeet. It's not nearly as nice as the $2500+ guns most of the guys use, but it's been a lot of fun so far for $1000!

Here's a pic of a person not standing right...


And here's an olympian trapshooter. She looks like she's reaching forward with her whole body!

For some reason I like the pump the best. O/U and semi's didn't make it enough of a challenge with having to cycle the round in time to get the second clay.. One day I'll pick up a nicer shotgun.
