|  Skeet/Trap Gun
I'm still shooting skeet/trap with my 870 which is very limiting when shooting doubles.
What brand of gun, model and gauge do you shoot skeet/trap with? __________________ Not Registered? Register now! - It's free and helps the community grow. |

I use a Remington 1100 LT20. It is the same gun my dad used when he was a skeet shooter. __________________

The BT -99 is a single shot gun that shoots a pattern high you never miss with that gun. The Ruger is an over and under that I prefer for two birdies at once. All a matter of preference When I first started shooting clays I used a 11-87 auto I like a break open type gun

I use a Ruger Red Label Sporting Clays for everything, except HD where I have a 870 Express w/20 inch barrel. The Ruger has worked well for me. I even hunt with it. I also have a 20GA Ruger Red Label that my son used to hunt with. I have not shot it for quite awhile. Need to drag it out. I'd like to get my hands on a SXS that can hold up to the range use. The doubles I have had were all "field guns" and didn't seem to be able to stand up to shooting Trap, skeet, SC on a regular basis. I had a Ithica SKB Model 150 12 GA years ago that I shot 50 straight in Trap at a registered shoot in Red Cloud, NE. Sure liked that gun. I bought it at Montgomery Wards. got my first charge card with them to get it. (Cowboys don't make much money  ) My Grand Dad told me that "if Wards don't have it, you don't need it." That's sure changed  Anyway, while living in Denver that was one of the guns stolen.  | |

I have a bt-99, great for trap. use my browning special sporting for skeet and sporting clays. I also like my Beretta 391 sporting for all. It really does shoot nice. So my choice would be a good o/u with not long of bbl, or a good outo such as the beretta. None have failed me yet. | |

Trap guns are typically set up with stock and sighting configuration to shoot high when aiming dead on, because the target is rising away from the shooting station.
I use a standard Browning Gold Auto for everything. | |
