I worked with a gentleman years ago who told me about a WWII training program that used clay bird throwers. The trainee and a shotgun were in some sort of fixture or harness in the back of a moving truck or jeep. I can see where that would simulate hitting a moving target from a moving platform. The vehicle was driven down a track so I suppose it wouldn’t have all the bounces of the WWI version. And I thought 5-Stand was tough!
