Oldy but Goody Trap Video

[R&R Rancher]

Saw this link over on Trapshooters. The Late D. Lee Braun on shooting trap. The gun camera work is great for showing a beginner what the leads should look like as you shoot

Enjoy!

Remember both this and a similar piece on Skeet by the late great Remington Pro ... in 16mm movie film.

Video is from the days when trap shooters were real men shooting 60mph targets at wider angles.

I don't know how they achieved 60 mph when they are bring thrown to the same 50 yard distance as today? Heights and flights weren't any different then, I just think they guessed at what speeds they they thought they were going? I can remember being told as a teenager in the late 70's that the targets we shot in skeet were 60mph as well and that was not the case then either.
As for trap we always shot I the no 3 hole in the old western throwers when I started trap shooting but I believe even back then (1982) that the ATA rules called for a number 2 hole setting for anything other than a shoot off?

Speaking of real men, IIRC in the video it said the camera weighed 30 pounds. And from what I saw the camera would block the rib, yet Bob Andrews absolutely crushed those birds.
