I did it last year at a mates stag do in Edinburgh.

Bloody loved it, di quite well, Although I found the ones that skip across the floor impossible "rabbits" I think the guy called them.

Used an up and under browning, hellish powerfull.
Had a sore arm for the rest of the day!!
My cheesy dancing suffered greatly in the evening!!

Would love to have another go.

I've been on both sides of the fence. Used to do trapping when I was younger, and some shooters used to let me have a go. I wasn't to bad, but then I had acces to Ian Paynes (Olympic medalist?) little black book of leads and numbers.

Was always funny to see someone shoot 8 out of ten clays, and then to fuck his score, just move them up the trap a bit to put them off course, and make them miss.

Or stick a bit of chewing gum on a rabbit clay to make it wobble, and bounce a bit more.

PULL!
