I was thinking more of not noticing and then having a barrel exploded a foot or so from your face has to be a pants staining moment.Scorpion8 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 4:06 pmIn truth, not so much. It's all in concentration and awareness. In trap, you try to do everything the same - the mount, the stance, the hold, the sight... and one of those is the shot. I've seen squib loads many times from reloaders and (sheepish grin) even had one myself. The key is that in your zen on the trap spot, you or someone next to you can usually stop and say "that didn't sound right". A look down the barrel tells you that a wad is still in there. Quick fix, no harm done except for 0.0743 secs of embarrassment, and then off to the next shot. It's why trap vests always have those loops for two extra shells.
If you hear a odd one and have the state of mind to stop and see what happened, great
