Explaining the Clay Sports: Trap!

[btls7815]

10 ga is not allowed for any ATA sponsored shoot, and most clubs don't allow its use. Also, 410, 28, and 16 ga aren't very popular and will put you at a large disability.

Other than that, nicely done.

[chaos311clarity]

@btls7815 Thanks man, obviously this was aimed at the more casual shooter because the people that are worried about ATA rules, don't need to know how the game is played haha. Appreciate the feedback though!

[poisonouslead85]

Now you got me looking for an old dept store brand shotgun (those things get cheap).  All I've got so far are semi-auto pistols.

[chaos311clarity]

@poisonouslead85 A friend of mine was rocking a Sears & Robuck semi auto for a while, shot pretty well.

[Scorpac]

but this is not rule conform right?

[chaos311clarity]

@Scorpac what?

[Scorpac]

@chaos311clarity i dont know, im just asking myself if this is sports-trap or just hunter-training-trap.

[enscribe]

Nice job

[chaos311clarity]

@enscribe thanks!

[jeffshootsstuff]

Great vid. I've been shooting for 30 years but have never shot actual trap nor had it explained to me.

[chaos311clarity]

@jeffshootsstuff thank you! I figured there really arent many good videos explaining the clay sports, so im running with it haha

[thebudgetarmory1]

This was just great! I tell you what, trap can be EXTREMELY addicting!

[chaos311clarity]

@thebudgetarmory1 thanks man! ive really enjoyed trap the more ive been shooting it... definitely gotta do it more this year!

[mastersniper13]

i was at a trap league shoot with my dad one day and this dude brought out his 10 gauge for everyone to shoot and it was funny watching big dudes shoot off a round and proceed by yelling "holy sh!t"

[chaos311clarity]

@mastersniper13 lmao, i gotta find someone willing to lend their 10 gauge for me to make a fool of myself.

[jdouglasfisher]

ok, but one question,

You never explained who wins, and if it's Team Vs. Team scoring, or Individual Vs. Individual Scoring...

[chaos311clarity]

@jdouglasfisher i guess i didnt cover that, but every time i go, i pretty much shoot against myself... trying to best my previous scores and such.

TRAPT HOUSE

[JohnUSCG]

Chaos.....would like to invite you to my side of the Susquehanna (York) to shoot some Sporting Clays at my home club some Sunday.

[chaos311clarity]

@JohnUSCG that sounds like fun! shoot me a PM about it!

[deutscherjoel]

This is something I've always wanted to try; it looks like a ton of fun. Kind of afraid I'd get there and just miss everything, but I feel guilty that my shotgun spends most of its time collecting dust.

[chaos311clarity]

@deutscherjoel if you suck, im willing to bet that any place you can shoot trap has people that know how to shoot it and are willing to help you out. you should definitely try it!

[biguy525]

Very cool video. I really like that ending scene with the shell going in the barrel. How many try's to get it in ?

[chaos311clarity]

@biguy525 i think like 4 or 5 tries haha... thanks for watchin!

[canhuntincanuck]

Well explained , I will have to try the 10 gauge when I get one LOL, but most ranges won't let you shoot bigger then 12 though.

[chaos311clarity]

@canhuntincanuck thank you, and you may have to find a range willing to watch you bang up your shoulder lol

[TheParsonsRS]

Thanks Chaos :D

[chaos311clarity]

@TheParsonsRS thank you for watchin!

[cobrar85]

Awesome vid explaining trap, great job. Would love to see more of these.

[chaos311clarity]

@cobrar85 thanks! i tried to be thorough but not overwhelming. i plan on explaining all of the clay sports i have available to play! haha

[theaustralianshooter]

nice vid

[chaos311clarity]

@theaustralianshooter thank you!

[TheJmac1983]

very cool man I love shooting trap

[chaos311clarity]

@TheJmac1983 its a lot of fun for sure.

[MikeM0331]

I always love the music! How long did the camera have to stay there to get the shot of the clouds moving?

[chaos311clarity]

@MikeM0331 The music is key! haha and it only took like 5 minutes i think... the wind was howling pretty good that day.

[robbie574]

My first round of Trap I shot 18 out of 25 and got progressively worse from then on. That was 30 years ago. This vid makes me want to give another try :)

[chaos311clarity]

@robbie574 18/25 is pretty good for the first time out! You should definitely try again man!

[cadrician]

Very nice, loved it! I also like to play with shotgun! Thanks buddy!

[chaos311clarity]
