I was the puller at my club last weekend which was open to the public. I went through 26 cases of clays.
A father and his 12 or 13 yr. old boy showed up with two boxes of #6. The kid had a brand new Remington 870 Express. He had never shot a gun before. I show the boy how to stand, cheek weld the stock and tell him to point and not aim and shoot the clay on the way up. He nails the first bird and out shoots his dad and although I wasn't scoring, he nailed more than 15. I went to my trunk and got a box to see the boy shoot some more. He hit 15 consecutive clays and said "these are magic shells!". He missed 3 on station five but ended up with 21. Both his father and I were just rolling our eyes. It was fun to watch and they thought that I was the Vince Lombardi of trap coaches.
Nobody else matched his 21 the entire weekend!

, I started shooting trap about 3 years ago, and my first round was when a friend took me out with a borrowed 1100. My very first round, I went 23 for 25, and figured "What's so tough about this?". Now, I average 19 or 20, with 25s few and far between, but I still like to try.
