Starter trap shotgun

[sting75ray]

Try several guns before you buy one. I started out with an old Model 12 and like others I can remember the day when the Model 12 was about the only gun in the racks at the trap shoots. I started my daughter out 3 years ago with my Ruger Red Lable 20ga. Now that Dad passed away she shoots his Model 12 Trap and does damn good with it at the age of 15.


Last spring I put in a trap range here at my house and started up a club in honor of my Dad who passed away last December. We have a youth trap shoot each month. We had a great time and a great bunch of kids. Here are some of the pics with the kids and their prizes.

Cody took first place and won the Mossberg O/U 12Ga

Devan 4th with his shell pouch

My daughter is one of our top shooters so she thought all she need to do was supervise.

She did help load the machine a few times.

I am ready for April to get here and look forward to working with the young kids with their trap shooting. We had 13 kids last year shoot with us and about 20 already that want to join this year.

Here are the shirts we had made for all the kids to wear.
