Trap Team Date: Aug 7, 2013 11:40:08 PM PDT Author: rinavy Who is interested in forming a Tri-Town Trap Team? The work on the trap field will soon be completed. Experienced shooters what are your recommendations for beginners? What shotgun action do you think best for newbies? What's your favorite brand of shell? Can I use the same gun I use for ducks?   Reply to this Post

Date: Aug 9, 2013 5:20:54 AM PDT Author: Dave H For a standard trap shoot, ammo is 2-3/4" 12ga. 7-1/2 shot or 8 shot. As far as brand of ammo I like the Federal Target Bulk Packs you can get at Wal-Mart. Or, Winchester AA. Either is good. The action type is up to the shooter. I have a Remington Autoloader that works great, a pump would work well too. Most serious/professional shooters tend to go with an over/under. But remember, in trap you are only allowed to load one round at a time and only shooting one round at a time so action type is up to the shooter.
