Auto Insurance Made In North Carolina Etiquette • Don’t be afraid to ask. If you’re not sure of the etiquette when first starting out, ask a regular at the range. Even though most everyone has a gun in their hands, they can be surprisingly helpful. • Silence (accept for the loud shotgun blasts). The voice-activated traps can be sensitive, so any voice sound will potentially throw a target. It’s also polite not to speak while another shooter is concentrating. • At the ready. Trap shooting is very much a rhythm sport. There’s no need to rush, but be ready when it’s your turn to shoot. • Be prepared. Before you walk onto the course for a round, be sure you have a full box of shells (with a few spares), along with your safety glasses and ear protection. Don’t make your fellow shooters wait as you run back for something.
Insurance isn’t meant to be mass produced, packed up, and shipped out across state lines. With North Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance*®, you get bonafide, grade-A, homegrown auto coverage with great discounts from local agents you can trust. Auto insurance is not just a product; it’s a service. And the only way to get the best service is to get it locally. Because helping you is what we do best.
Expense Trap shooting can be an expensive sport. Along with the cost of a trap gun ($900 and up), ammunition can also put a dent in your wallet. Shooters use 25 shells for each round and will typically shoot several rounds for each visit to the range (more during competition). A box of 25 tournament grade ammo costs around $7.
