08shooter Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 hi guys i was speaking to a mate today who shoots a trap gun in the field.i personally never tried it and was wondering if any of you guys did the same.would the high comb and rib not make it awkward to shoot with?surely trap guns are built for going away birds so does that mean you have to aim under crossers?

MC Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 If a gun suits you then it doesn't matter what it is labelled, I own a sporter but have shot plenty of pheasants with it. Trap guns are usually heavily choked and do shoot high but that doesn't matter a jot if it shoots where YOU are looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Not all trap guns shoot high. Many sporters shoot high. Check the top rib - if does not taper down, the gun should shoot roughly where you point it. I have been using trap guns for Sporting for about 20 years. Just prefer the chunkier forend. You can either get a multichoke, or get the chokes opened up. Get a gun that suits you. Don't get hung up on a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I shoot a "trap" gun as it fits perfectly and I wanted a beaver forend, rather than a slim schabel forend. It's teague multi-choked so is adaptable to whatever quarry I'm after . If it fits and kills everything you point it at it doesn't matter if it's a tennis racket!
