With Cal out this week, Joey and Carter talk about trap shooting and how it relates to shooting birds. Especially in the off season, we’re always looking for ways to improve as hunters. Lots of folks shoot trap to stay sharp with their shotgun. We talk about whether or not this is an effective way to become a better waterfowl shooter. They also talk about the best guys you can bring with you on a hunt, and Joey calls Carters dad. Thanks for listening and watching! Be sure to subscribe to get all of our content!
