    Being in my 70's I've shot allot of games over the years. I've done trap of course, skeet, sporting clays, 5 stand, make a break, USPA, IDPA, 3 gun, Steel, Benchrest and Cowboy Action. I think that's about it. Never got into Quick Draw though. Of course had to have guns for everything. Revolvers, pistols, shotguns and rifles. Had a great time doing it all. So I was just wondering how many games have you all shot over the years.

    Mid 90’s
    Hillside Hunting Preserve and Sporting Clays Courses. ( and sometimes flyers shoots)
    One of the premier facilities at the time. When the game was supposed to imitate hunting situations.
    A pit blind for incoming waterfowl.
    A stand up blind for a 10 bird flurry, 5 pair thrown after one call.
    A large brush pile that had the back cutouts to allow 2 machines to work without you seeing them.
    Rabbits that ran between brush piles. Had to wait for an opening
    The best was the 12 foot aluminum boat suspended a couple of feet off the ground SUSPENDED BY 4 GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS.
    The machine was in a tower over your right shoulder. You could cheat a little if you sat sideways and picked the target up quicker but then you had to deal with the puller rocking the damn thing side to side and back to front.
    Thats when it was fun and you and your pals laughed all day.
    THEN, the money started to show up and the targets got, “technical”.

    door springs is a great idea!
    we just did it the po-boy way......as if the boat was in the mud on the bank!
