Trap shooting — Sport evolved from using live birds to clay pigeons

While I suppose any article about shooting is good in some respects, a trapshooting article in a National SKEET Shooting Assn newsletter seems a bit odd.

Odd? Only if you categorize yourself to a specific game. I think the purpose of the newsletter (Target Talk) is to present any clay target shooting in a positive light, regardless of which game is being presented. All of us should be thinking of ourselves as ‘clay target’ shooters versus Skeet, Trap, or Sporting Clays shooters. Any article that presents clay target shooting in a positive light, as this article has done, is a good thing. No matter where you read about it. Thank you Target Talk.
