Question for you guys about elmer fudd

Same type of people who buy a $120,000 car, drive it to walmart, and complain when someone dings it in the parking lot.

Don't like it, leave the Ferrari at home Francis.
 
If he stood to your right on the line after you're in position, that's his problem.

If I have a semi that sends them straight to the right, I tell the guy so that he can choose to not be next to me. Most of mine send them ahead and right. This still bothers the easily bothered, I understand. My brother ran into one of those types.


I'm not buying some shell "catcher" (action jammer) that could mar the finish on MY guns, and looks ugly to boot.
 
Life moments have cost me more 10k situations that I care to share. Tracks, tires, tits, engineers, o-rings, friendship, propellers, investments, horses, real-estate, death.


10k? Is chump change vs real situations life will show you the value of a dollar be it a 870 or a browning.

Jealousy don’t pay for the master card or hot water tank that flooded the basement.

Don’t bounce your shells off me please.
 
Obviously most of the people on this thread have no clue about trapshooting or how to conduct oneself while doing so!!!!

So a Fudd is anyone who doesn't like getting hit by shells from a semi auto on the trap line?

The thing that makes me laugh is that all you young guys brag about beating some Fudd with his fancy "insert expensive shotgun make here" gun. While this is nothing new and I've seen it happen lots of times, what none of you seem to realize is that you aren't the first ones to do this, we were you 30 or 40 years ago! Back then we were the ones beating the old guys with their fancy guns on the trap line with our duck guns. We had young eyes that automatically latched onto a hard focus on the front of the target, we all had lighting quick reflexes and hardly let the bird out of the house before nailing it. And even though we might have been a bit cocky like you, we all learned shooting etiquette such as not hitting fellow shooters with your hulls! We worked hard and shot cheap shotguns until we got ahead financially after putting our kids (like you) through university and college. We struggled to make their lives good just like your parents have. And we shot cheap guns because all of our resources went into keeping a family fed and sheltered. Finally, when we got all of that behind us, we decided it was time to spend some money on ourselves and got a nice gun to shoot. We've all been where you guys are but we've moved on, and you all will too. Most of you could have a fancy gun now if you wanted to, they don't cost anymore than the crotch rockets and snowmobiles or quads that you guys ride, its just a different priority that's all. If you young guys decide to stick with shooting, and many of you wont be able to afford it, you will eventually end up like us with a burning desire to shoot but with failing eyes and slow reflexes. If you are financially capable, you might go out and buy yourself a fancy gun and get whipped by my grand son or even my granddaughter, it's the cycle of life!
Good luck to all of you and I hope you all stay in the shooting sports because us Fudds have been carrying the torch for you and now it's your turn. The shooting sports are an endangered species and we need you to carry on!

Falconflyer: What a great post.... I hope a young shooter will be there so you can pass the torch

I got your point and it doesn't apply here.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suite is it. I said that it doesn't matter if it's my Perazzi or old beat up goose gun, you have no right to bounce hulls off of it. In other words, it's got nothing to do with how much the gun costs, you need to take responsibility for your actions! And believe me, no one buys a Perazzi to let it gather dust in a safe, they're made to be used hard!

Its not like he was sitting in the cabin throwing old shells across the room trying to damage the gun on purpose. The guy was on his stand shooting his targets. Its the shooter who can't move. The guy who isn't shooting is free to move, watching for flying shells, case his gun or piss off.

I thought it was just millenials who wanted the world to be child proofed them and blamed everyone else for what happens to them. Guess there are a few boomers at the trap range who feel the same way. I guess now we know where the millenials got the idea. Lives messy, where a helmet.

Who is "the guy"???? The original post is someone asking about how to handle being attacked by a jerk on facebook for shooting a semi.

We all understand that if you are going to stand beside a guy shooting sporting or skeet and get hit by his hulls then it's your own fault. We also understand that if your going to stand beside some guy on the trap field who's hulls are bouncing off you every time he shoots then that is not acceptable, especially if he thinks it's funny. Pretty simple really.
 
I don't shoot trap too often, preferring skeet myself, however; I use a semi for all my shotgun sports.
That being said, when shooting trap, I do advise the guy to my right (if I don't know him) that my Maxus ejects shells about 5 to 6 feet to the 2 o'clock.
I have never heard any complaints thus far as I do try to demonstrate both courtesy and respect for the sport and people on the line.
Although, if a shooter were to intentionally stand in line of the ejected shells and complain about it, I would politely explain to that person that he/she is free to move just ever so slightly to avoid any further annoyance.
I do personally believe that arguments / fights of this nature should never arise on the trap field ever...as, if you are mature enough to participate in the clay sports, we should be mature enough to extrapolate a solution.
And, in the case of the OP, politely explain that the shooter on the right is free to move out of the way.

Courtesy & respect.

Good to conduct oneself with it on the range, in life in general & particularly, for all, when participating in this thread. :)

You old guys sure are good at making assumptions too. Lol.
 
Nice how any thread about fudd behaviour turns into a slug fest. In the red corner the Young buck (mid 30’s?) Star Wars generation cocky bastard shooting a beat up 12g goose gun with black plastic furniture. In the blue corner, the Coffin Dodging boomer with a penchant for ruining the world and expensive euro O/U’s that are too expensive to even glance at without washing your hands first. Who Wins? Who’s Next? YOU DECIDE!

I agree. I doubt that many of them have ever been on a trap, skeet or sporting clays field let alone shot in serious competition. And to all you guys that are so sh!t hot with their old beat up truck guns, come on out to a competition and shoot. There is serious money to be made at the bigger ones.

Which assumptions are those?

Holy crap man, seriously? That I'm some young guy, that I'm cocky, that I'm a better trap shooter than you (Thanks!), that I lack shooting etiquette, that I'm a kid, that I don't have fancy guns, but instead blow my money on crotch rockets and snowmobiles.
 
What I can't fathom is why anyone thinks it's the other guys problem if they don't like getting empties bounced off of their guns !!! I personally don't get flustered if the person next to me shoots a semi without a shell catcher and they occasionally bounce off of me or my gun ( I usually shoot a Krieghoff (but also have lots of less expensive guns I enjoy) and I'm 60 so I qualify as a Fudd) but the sense of entitlement of some people with the " don't like how I do it, that's your problem" attitude baffles me. I wonder if I just picked up guns from the rack without permission then dropped them if they'd be "well, that's OK, that's how he rolls".
