Listen "Trap Shooting"
Episode Synopsis
As they've done for more than 58 years, members of the Gooderham Century Gun Club gather in a nearby field throughout the spring, summer and fall to improve their clay trap shooting skills. It's an interesting group of people, some women, some men, some hunters and others just interested in honing their skills with a shot gun.
The trap shooting course has five stations for five shooters and after one shot each, members switch spots. A course firearm officer oversees each session, releasing the small, orange trap disc once the shooter calls ‘pull'. All members must have a gun license and it's about pointing the gun, rather than aiming it. Given how small those discs are, however, gives one a greater appreciation of those who consistently hit the target as it rises and falls.
Shooters try to get a score of 25 and while CanoeFM was on site, many shooters were pretty close to perfection.
