Trapshooting

Trapshooting is a sport that originated in England as a way to train bird hunters and differs from skeet shooting in that the shooter moves from station to station instead of shooting from the same spot. A clay disk is launched from different locations instead of always from the same spot.

Several positive aspects of the sport are that it allows people to compete against themselves as well as others. People who belong to trapshooting clubs or attend meets enjoy the companionship of others who have the same interest. Participation requires physical ability, concentration and practice to achieve excellence.

Trapshooting is usually done outdoors, and in winter can cause hands to become quite cold and uncomfortable. Maine Warmers offers Palm Packs and microwave Hand Warmer mittens that can be reused. Once heated, they can go inside pockets or large mittens to help relieve the pain of cold fingers.

They may also be frozen and used as gentle ice packs to help reduce swelling and soothe migraines.

Maine Warmers offers other styles of heating pads and ice packs to help stiff necks and sore back muscles.
