Question afer short explanation. I retired and want to improve my shotgun skills. I started shooting some Trap last year, and shoot at two different clubs. Club 1 much more informal and a good time competing. I can shoot at any distance I want to. Club 2 serious by the rule book crowd constantly talking "rules", and if someone might have touched a rule edge. Very serious competing and not a giggle or cough when shooting because there is a rule someplace saying you cannot do and subject to lashings if you do. They wont let me move back until I get an official Handicap.
Club 1 normally shoots at the 16yd line, and those of us who want to move back will shoot at 22yd line. This bunch has a very informal travelling trap where they shoot against other clubs and its 16 and 22yd.
Club 2 Shoots 16yd line, and if you move back YOU MUST MOVE BACK TO THE 23yd line. This club does not participate in the travelling trap because YOU DONT SHOOT AT 22YDS IT MUST BE 23YDS.
Can I get a quick input if the 22 or the 23 is the distance most shooters move back to from the 16. I am NOT going to get a handicap and I shoot at club 1 more often because I can shoot at any distance I want. Skill and technique is much higher at Club 2 and I just get tired of the flippen rules, rules, rules.
