Lets see your trap guns

I've had this Perazzi MT6 for many years. It's about 40 years old and I've had it for about the last 25 years. It's my go to gun as I shoot it for trap, skeet and sporting clays. The only repair I've done in all those years is new locking block---also cleaned up the end of the firing pins when it started busting primers. The MT6 has a fixed trigger (the Mx8's have drop out triggers) and coil springs whereas most MX's have leaf springs.

That would make a nice match to my TMS. ;)

Our club used to have a spring Ice Breaker event with mixed Trap and Sporting Clays. A duck hunter with a clapped out CIL pump with fixed full choke showed up and just about won the whole thing. He embarrassed the hell out of the Piazzi guys. One station was incoming mini's that wanted to nest on your head. They were launched from downhill in the bush. He puff balled those probably within 5 yards off the muzzle. It was his first shotgun he learned to shoot with since he was 16 years old. Later he bought a Benelli Nova and couldn't hit anything.

I have heard countless stories similar to yours. I have not witnessed it myself.

Same! I've been beat at alot of shoots too with guys shooting both higher and lower end guns than my own and have yet to be embarrased. I've also won a few shoots too with everything from an 1100 to my Pooperazzi and have yet to look down on others for what they were using.
I find the folks that post these tales seem to be under the perception because they don't shoot a Pooperazzi, Ceasar Linguine or whatever that those that do are somehow made to feel degraded being beat by a better score with a lesser gun. It's not hard to tell their lack of experience at shoots and definitely their lack of social skills at making friends or at least friendly acquaintances when attending a club.

I can remember one Turkey shoot where a young guy showed up with a side by side and hardly anyone knew him which is strange in a farming community. He proceeded to take several turkeys against fairly seasoned shooters and went home with his winnings with no smart alec remarks, no gloating and no disparaging remarks towards those with nice guns whom he had just beaten in competition. I also heard no condescending remarks about him or his gun, it was all in good fun and everyone was a good sport.
I also remember one of the first Turkey shoots I went to one very cold november or december afternoon where myself and a very seasoned trap shooter ended up way back where the cars were parked going mano a mano. It was my turn and as I fired the other guy shot a split second behind me at the 80 or 90 yard target and thought that he had broken it as did all of his friends who were rooting for him! They were all busy congratulating him as the referee called me the winner, long faces prevailed and I felt pretty smug as I walked off the station... I knew that I'd broken the target but it kind of pizzed me off that these guys weren't paying close enough attention to what had really happened. I saw my shot break the target and a split second later my competitors shot hit the fragmented pieces that my shot broke but you could only see that if you were hard focused on the target, thankfully the judge was focused!
I've loved Turkey shoots ever since! :)
