In reply to the discussion: Lt. Gov. candidate (R) Will Ainsworth's wife injured in 'gun accident' [View all]MontanaMama
(23,307 posts)24. My first job was at a trap and skeet club
when I was 13 years old. I pulled and scored for the shooters which meant you sit in an elevated chair with a button in your hand that remotely operates an automated thrower that launches a clay disk or pidgeon for the marksperson to shoot wiith a shotgun. When the shooter yells pull! Id push the button to send the clay pidgeon into the air for the marksperson to shoot. Skeet refers to the clay pidgeon moving from side to side and Trap refers to the clay pidgeon that moves away from the shooter. It was a great first job. I loved it. I made $3.10 per hour back in 1978.

So clay pigeons can fly. How do they get "launched" into the air ?

Obama also knows the image of a black man with a gun also scares the shit out of Trumpers.
