Well I was tearing them white flyers up. Ended running a 100 straight from my handicap yardage: 21. And someone snapped a good photo. I thought y'all would enjoy.

Maybe that's why I'm not very good at shooting trap/skeet- because I keep my elbow down. If I ever had my elbow up that my high, first my grandfather and then my drill sergeant would have chewed my ass. Is that a common trap stance?

Seems normal for the shooting games, I do not shoot like that way either.

Many techniques in trap, skeet, 5 stand, and sporting clays. but everybody needs to do what works for them. Since I have a good amount of flexibility in the shoulders and neck, I am able to have my elbow up that high. To myself, I feel like I have that gun locked up nice in the shoulder and can still have a smooth and consistent swing. Another thing that gets on the nerves of a lot of trapshooters is seeing how I shoot. I shoot them extremely fast out of the house. A lot of the times the kids scoring dont even know what happened cause I blew that white flyer 5 feet out of the house. I am blessed with having eyes like that of a chicken hawk. To me trap targets are way to slow even though they are set to throw 50 yards or 45 MPH.

FIFY Assa...

And I see a lot of guys that use that stance around here.

Congrats Rex but that looks as uncomfortable as hell.
