BURCHICK'S TRAP PRACTICE II
 |
With a cease-fire on the range, we went
for the photo-op in front of the AGC
Trap Range sign. Don't tell anyone, but
last year our 4-H Club pressure washed
the sign, and we mistakenly blew off the
majority of the hand-carved lettering.
Our intentions were good. |  |
LaDonna worked the Lincoln hand
thrower. Trapper ready. Pull. |  |
I know just what Amanda was thinking
. . . "the muzzle is inserted on
the line of flight, just behind the
clay target. The gun is then
consciously accelerated through and
past the target, before pulling the
trigger. It is this accelerating
passage past the target that results
in sufficient forward allowance to
break the target." |   |
If we were bird hunting, Duane would
have kept the dog busy with
retrieves! |  |
I can hear Amanda thinking again . .
. "if I miss behind, even by a
micro-second, I can never hit the
target, because the target is flying
away from the shot string. If I miss
in front, even by a mile, there is
always the chance that the target
and shot string will connect as the
target flies toward the pattern."
|  |
Michelle was a great example of the
importance of follow-thru, meaning
"to follow the target all the way to
the ground." The majority of
Michelle's hits came as the clay was
descending toward the ground. I have
no doubt that when it comes to a
terrestrial hunt for furry critters,
Michelle would be all over it. A
couple more practices with quick
target acquisition and she will be
turning jumping rabbits into a
powder-puff of dust/feathers. |  |
Upper Row: Mark, Mark, Keith,
LaDonna, Michelle, Amanda and Duane.
Lower Row: Jeb, Michelle, NeNu
and Breanna. |  |
A little scary!
Don't forget today's trap
fundamentals: (1) stance, (2) gun
ready position, (3) swing to target,
(4) trigger pull and (5) follow
through.
Thank you, I think we all had a
blast, and Happy Easter.
