As the title says, when do you shoot and how much.
I tend to shoot 2 days a week simply because i can't make up my mind which day i like better, well also because I just love it. I shoot Wednesdays 12 noon and Sundays at 10am
if the weather isn't great IE rain or snow i tend to skip it and if I'm short on cash i skip it.
At my club it is only $2.50 (for members - $3.50 for non members) a string/round but it's the fee, WITH the added cost of shells. most of the time i have it but times are tough, so sometimes i don't.
The following is given in case someone who has never shot trap is interested and would like to know the general cost of shooting it:
I usually shoot 2 or 3 strings when i go. so the cost of the string ($2.50 ea) + shells ($6+ a string) + what we call the black bird pool ($1 a string with a chance to win the pot) X 2 strings = $19 depending on shells, 3 rounds = $28.50. X 2 if i go both days.
The black bird is a clay that is a different color than the rest. most places use orange clays, a black bird could be blue, white etc. 1 black bird a round, if 2 come out only the 1st counts. if the black bird is hit, the shooter gets the pot. the pot is $1 x the number of shooters in that round. If the bird is missed, the pot go into a fund for kids to shoot free of charge.
I tend to buy shells in bunches of 4 or 5 - 100 round boxes at a time so it is possible that it can last me 5 weeks. that way i don't feel the pinch every week, it would just be what amounts to $3.50 a round.
However i just got a reloader and hope to start reloading VERY shortly.
