Today December 10th, 2008 there is 1 club in North Carolina that uses Lawry targets for "trap" competition. 2008 is the year we are living in the last time I checked. All other clubs that throw registered targets in NC use WF targets.
If you chose to use Lawry targets go right ahead no problem. I have an email that was penned by a Lawry rep that confirmed that Lawry's are hygroscopic. That means that the targets can and will absorb moisture if left in conditions where humidity is present. If you add cold freezing temps I would imagine an image of a frozen flying hockey puck only orange in color.
You see we went through all of this mess when Ft. Bragg wanted to use Lawry targets in their trap program. I have the entire thread if you would like for me to post it! I don't have a dog in this fight I just posted some info and now I am living in the past
I also have an email that was penned by a former Connecticut ATA delegate about their issues after they decided to use Lawry targets for a state shoot. I believe that was the last time they used the Lawry target if you would care to check.
Will I shoot a Lawry target in trap when registered targets are offered? Yes I will but it might only be 300-600 targets in a year where I shoot 9-10,000 registered targets.
Yep 100 - 91 - 98 in August - Gastonia Gun Club - Picture is above - Enjoy
