Equipment Needed:
 American made Trius Birdshooter target trap sells for under $70.00 at Cheaper Than Dirt and can provide endless hours of shooting fun. These units are very portable and can be set up for use in a matter of minutes, they can be adjusted for height and angle as well with little or no trouble.

 Setting Up A Course:
 Because these units are so very inexpensive you can buy more than 1 unit and set up your own course and stations for sporting clays. This is easily accomplished by selecting areas that have various terrain features and cover such as wooded lots etc., each station with its own unique shooting situation. The best part of this is that you can alter your course to duplicate shooting situations that you may find yourself in, hunting your favorite local game hotspots.

 Stationary Field Use:
 This is probably where most of these units get used is in the middle of an open field somewhere. This has many advantages for trapshooters for the simple reason you can set one of these up and work on shots that on the trap field give you problems. It is here where when not under pressure you just may find that your shotgun just doesn't fit right and causing you to miss shots by not being able to get on targets fast enough. Perhaps your pattern opens to much at longer range targets, if so this way you can change to chokes of different types and constriction till you find the one that works for you and your shooting style. Patterning a shotgun tells you one thing but actual shooting situations will tell you another.
