Thought I would shoot more when I retired, has not happen yet, maybe soon, I hope.

Here's what I do to cut costs by 75%. I BOUGHT a clay target thrower, welded it to a 6ft. lenght of 2x2 sq. tubing that fits in my trailer hitch on my truck.
I shoot off the back of my truck were ever I park it. It is adjustable for height, can throw high, medium or low targets. I shoot in various areas on my Farms,
and with different springs on the thrower, can throw out to a good 90 yards. Keep a eye open for clay targets for sale, some times you can pick them up very cheap.
NO high club prices, no waiting to shoot, IF YOU GO TO A CLUB, you can only shoot when they say so, at your place shoot when ever you want to. Shoot 20 targets or 500,
what ever you like or want. ALSO you have to reload your shells, NO WAY I can afford to shoot all factory shells. This trap also throws ''doubles'', so makes for good practice.
