At the Shelby range there is a older gentleman who shoots a 410 double.
It takes him a while to set up, with a rest stop before he is finished.

He has a trap "C" clamped to the bench and a trip cord tied to the gun rack back of the bench. By the way the bench is nothing more than a 2x6 mounted to two posts about three feet high.
He will cock the trap and when ready for the bird, just leans into the cord tripping the trap.
He will spend all afternoon shooting birds going through a box of shells. If I recall correctly the range officer said the guy is in his 90's.
