Random Pics From Clays Shooting

I've never seen them put through a hoop to set them. Also our field is a real optical illusion. It appears to sitvup above much of the surrounding landscape in the overshoot direction on the high side of the field so it makes the high house look high as the target doesn't cross any background so it's skylighted well. The low side on the other hand is below the treeline making the low house targets appear as if they are springing teal! The skeet shooters at our club are a pretty informal bunch and aren't concerned with regulation set targets, lol. I don't think they would be off by much though however the high house machine is in such disrepair the elevation adjustment crank handle is seized and you have to place or remove a wedge to set heights. We are going to have to replace the machines sooner than later as we've exhausted the parts supply from the spare parts machines. Trouble is we only have about two to four guys that shoot skeet weekly so there isn't much revenue on the field for replacement machines.

The trap shooters might have to subsidize new skeet machines. I would hate to see the loss of yet another skeet field in the province.

I may subsidize it myself. I have a line on a pair of Promatic Traps for a good price and may just purchase them and loan them to the club. They are trap models but they can be made to work in the skeet houses easy enough. Just don't turn on the oscillators. Our club is small and doesn't differentiate between allocation of funds. We buy for all fields what we can afford to and keep both games running.
