Do you have trouble shooting fast targets?

I adjust to targets w/o much trouble, ihave several shells loaded up for this kind of target.

My normal Handicap Shell is 1200fps but at some buddy shoots and calcuttas they throw a fast target and on these I get out my 1250fps shells.

But in reality I can adjust my lead on the 1200fps shells.

I have noticed when shooting off a Pat Trap that has the targets set at a 44 degree angle, as I know that is the setting as I witnessed the use of the Pat Trap 3 hole spacer furnished with the NEW PAT TRAP and with the pull cord in the trap house throw a 44 degree angle it did.

But in real live target throwing it HARDLY EVER THREW A HARD ANGLE.

I personally think that the PAT TRAP coasts back from the hard angles when the interuptor is working.

Now this is my observation over last 4 months that this NEW PAT TRAP was installed.

No problem with fast (or any targets for that matter)... I have these incredibly quick "cat-like" 72 year old reflexes....and I just pounce on 'em. Oh, I miss a few once in awhile, but these misses are mostly caused by irregularities (holes) in my shot patterns. Regards, Ed

FAST ? I thought there was a set speed they're supposed to be set at. If I start worrying about speed that'll give me one more thing to break my concentration and worry about.I just GO to the Bird.Don't worry about angles,speed,or wind.A miss is a miss what ever the reason.

All the clubs I shoot at use Pat traps & Canterburys. Every now & then I see an extreme angle on stations 1 or 5, kinda reminds me when I was a catcher & tried to pick a guy of first base. What causes these freek targets. Till I learn to refuse them it makes things interesting.
