    We switched to all green birds, now we have a problem with green paint building up on the o rings of our pat trap. It would let the bird drop in the second hole for doubles, wild rights throwing singles. I think we have the problem solved, but does anyone know of a product we can apply to the o rings to stop the paint build up. thank you

    Casa Grande replaces the O-rings regularly. Their age allows them to develop a glaze and lose friction ability. If someone is replacing them often, make sure they are the correct size. O-rings have nothing to do with wild rights... check your brushes. Don’t try to rotate them once the bristles are 1/2 worn the bristle stiffness is compromised and allows target to move on arm. Don Volz has helped me learn some trap maintenance tips.
