    does anyone have pictures of the safety barriers being used on early skeet fields? they use to be used to keep shooters from aiming muzzles back behind the playing field while reloading on stations 1 and 7.

    does anyone know of any fields still using them?

    I shot at The Olin/Winchester Skeet range for it's workers. They had the barriers on 1 and 7. They took them down for the "Winchester Superlite" Skeet tournaments. They would put them back up after the shoot.

    1988. I haven't shot there since about 1992. They had pot them back up after the tournament.
