Today I was fortunate enough to get some free time and nice weather to try out some clay shooting with my Mossberg 930 12ga shotgun. I also got to try out my new Trius 1 Step clay thrower. It was fun day but I have a long way to go before I can could be rated even marginally competent.
Here's a video of one of my few hits:
As you can see from this short video, the Trius really wings the targets out there. I was launching the targets myself using the spring loaded pedal. By the time I got my balance, the targets were already out at a challenging distance.
I did do better later when I switch to my left foot as the launching foot. Shortly before I quit, I had hit 3 of the last 4 targets.
The video was shot with a DVK808 #11 keychain camera taped to a hat. It seemed to work pretty well. It did have some issues maintaining consistent color as my view shifted from ground to sky.
I did run into a minor technical problem with the camera + hat + tape setup.
Next time, I'll use more tape. Luckily the camera is pretty tough.
One thing that disappointed me is amount of litter at the range. I expected clays, clay pieces, and maybe a few missed shell hulls. Instead I found lots of shell hulls (clearly no attempt to pick them up at all) and trash. Boxes, soda cups, cans, plastic bags. Just lots of trash. I cleaned up my stuff and a bit more, but there is still plenty more. Since there was no one there, I also reclaimed a few unbroken targets.
