Trius one step trap shooters/Laser boresighters

[starfishandcoffee]

Hi! I'm trying to do some Christmas shopping for my husband and need some information/opinions of other hunters. First I am curious if anyone knows anything about the Trius one step trap shooters.
I'd also like to know if anyone can tell me anything about Laser Boresighters and levelers.
thanks!

Hello Cindy and welcome to the board.

I know a little about everything you have mentioned except for the leveler.

Regarding the Trius trap, you have already read my view on it in the thread started by Duffy. They are decent, but not the best if your husband is a great shooter. However, they can be fun if they are used properly (i.e., with somebody else pulling the trap instead of the shooter). Shooting going away birds tends to get a little boring when they continually go in the same place.

I have a laser bore sighter and I love it. It really came in handy with my slug gun because that thing was a mile off. It helps to get the scope lined up with the point of impact of the barrel so that a shooter doesn't have to waste a ton of ammo trying to get on the paper. I bought mine through the Sportsman's Guide catalog several years ago.

Hi, Cindy, and welcome to HuntChat.

I never wound up buying the Trius One-Step. The comments I received from fabs and popplecop on this site, and on other boards to which I belong convinced me that while it would be a "nice-to-have" kind of thing, I would be better off joining a skeet and trap club, and shooting there more often, and that is what I have done. I do not doubt that he would appreciate the gift, and if you think you would like to give it to him, then by all means, go for it; after all, it is not too expensive. But for me, I prefer going to the ranges.

As for the bore sighter, it is an excellent tool which I have come to depend on. He would probably get a lot of good use from it. Of the two, the bore sighter is the better pick.

Good luck, and Merry Christmas!
