After my first season last year of Trap shooting my SKB Field grade 600, I decided to step up and raise the stakes this year.
I joined the ATA and upgraded to a true trap gun that I purchased from a fellow forum member, a Browning 725 Pro Trap in close to new condition.
So, I shot my first event today, small turn out and only did singles this outing. My group only had three shooter and the pace was faster than my informal shoots last year. I will admit I was tired after the forth 25, unlike our shoot 25 then go BS with the boys and shoot another 25 after 30 minutes, this was back to back 25's.
For the first time out with a new gun I felt good about the first 50 I ended up 21 on each, after that I got tired and got 18 on the each of the last two 25's.
The 725 Pro Trap is a big girl compared to my SKB with 28" barrels, but she is smooth on the swing with the 32s and so little recoil it's hard to compare.
I can't wait to give doubles a try and then shot some handicap to get my standings established. It was a cold day here in the upper 20's and the wind was steady at about 15 mph.
