A shotgun shell made for the game of trap shooting.
Hunting quail or trap shooting
No, a 4-10 shotgun would not be a good idea for shooting trap. The problem is the small size of the shell - with a very small amount of lead, you have a small chance of hitting your target. Shooting a 20 gauge shotgun is much better but still not a good idea for the same reason. The standard shotgun for shooting trap is a 12 gauge. The largest gauge allowed by nearly all trap shooting leagues, a 12 gauge has enough lead and enough power behind it to get consistent hits and high scores.
It is very recreational and great activity where participants using shotgun shooting chokes. It is one of the three major disciplines of clay pigeon shooting, sporting clays and trap shooting. There are many types of skeet which include Olympic skeet or international skeet. It is designed to be a 30-inch circle at 21 yards distance.
Trap shotguns are only used for trap shooting and should only be bought if you are really into trap shooting (or have too much money =] ). Field guns can be used for both field and trap applications. However, field and trap guns aim differently. Trap guns are easier to use for trap, and I'm not sure on the other way around. My advice is to by a field gun to use for both uses. That's what I did, and I get great trap scores. If I had an extra $2 or 3 thousand, I would by a trap gun because they work better for trap, but I don't =).
Traps are commonly found in the sport of clay pigeon shooting, also known as trap shooting. This shooting sport involves aiming to hit moving targets launched into the air from a trap house using a shotgun.
Clay pigeon shooting, or some call it trap shooting is the reason for clay targets being used. Many people use trap shooting or clay targets to better their hunting skills.
I would say yes. If it is a trap gun, then it will more than likely be ideal for trap shooting. Honestly, I wouldn't buy a trap gun until I was sure that I was commited to trap shooting, because you really can't use a trap gun for field applications. If you are a beginner, I would just use my field gun that you probably already have until you get the idea and figure out if trap shooting is something that you like to do. Also, if the gun that you are talking about is a pump, then I, personally, would consider a breakaway. That's just my personal preference. I've never used a pump shotgun for trapshooting, but if I did, I'm sure that I would get tired of the pumping into my hand. A breakaway or semiauto is just so much easier to use. If you're going to be involved in trap shooting, then by all means get it if you want. Have fun!
Trap shooting has it's original roots in Great Britain. It was a method of shooting targets instead of live pidgeon which was banned.
sure can .I know many who do.
1, a silver by Rajyavardhan Rathore in men's double trap shooting.
yes it is good for a beginner i just purchased the Remington spartan 20 gauge shot gun for some light trap shooting and pheasant hunting this is the perfect gun and cant be beat for the price. If you are going to shoot thousands of rounds a year you should probably spend more money and get a better trap gun but for occasional use this gun will be great
