The birds sometimes rise up, sometimes fly towards the shooter, sometimes quarter the ring and sometimes fly away. With a 32-yard rise and a fast going-away bird he has only a second to shoot before it clears the fence. Many of my birds were clean killed at 50 yards or more but dropped dead outside the fence and were 'lost'. Most competitors shot 'gun up'.

This is possible by using a movable support system that carries the release buttons (wired or wireless setup) from 6 to 9 traps and the dual safety screen in any place on the field. As a result, the shooter can shoot in safe conditions upon target presentations in varying range (10 to 60 yards) and varying angles (sharp to wide). a b "Holt's Auctioneers". auctions.holtsauctioneers.com.
