What is a trapshooting Lewis purse?

Answer 1

You are now interested in shooting registered ATA (Amateur Trapshooting Association) targets. It's easy. First, you have to go to a club that shoots registered targets. (Schedules can be found on the ATA website.) Next, go to the cashier and join the ATA. You can then shoot registered targets immediately. Dues are $18.00 per year (September to August). Then enter the shoot by picking your squad and shooting position (post 1,2,3,4 or 5). The cashier can help you out with the entry procedure. You will find the cost is a little more expensive than a practice shoot and you shoot 100 targets. The target cost will usually be from $15.00 to $22.00 for the hundred targets. You will be required to also pay what are called "fees". The ATA fee is $2.00 per day, plus each state charges a fee for their state association. You are now entered in the shoot. Make sure you arrive at your starting trap on time and do not be late. You then shoot 25 targets and then move to the second trap. Shoot another 25 targets and move to the third and fourth traps and repeat, 25 targets per trap until you have shot your total 100 targets. You are now on your way to an exciting career of registered trapshooting.
