Bustin some clays

We finally made it out to shoot some clays this last weekend out on the BLM behind town.  I picked up a Trius One Step Trap Thrower.  I do have a hand thrower which works fine as long as everyone is able to actually make it work but you can see from the following video why I decided to go with this upgraded trap thrower.

No doubt very amusing but it doesn't help me out much with being able to have a turn shooting.  I did try throwing some clays on my own with the hand thrower and then shooting them, but that got old very, very quick.  This new trap thrower is a sound investment, no doubt paying for itself quickly compared to going to a trap club.

Taylor was having a lot of fun shooting and ended up going through a box and a half of shells.  Unfortunately the shotgun was still too big for Bridget so we'll have to wait till next year to try again and see if she will be big enough.  It's too bad because she was really excited about hunting some birds this fall.  Better to be safe and be able to handle your firearm though then take a chance on having an accident.  It was a fun day, and we'll be going out as much as possible before September to get as much practice as we can.  Only one more week till grouse season starts.  We can't wait!
