I took my new trap gun out to the range last night for the first time along with a couple of boxes of Federal low-cost target ammo in #8 1 1/8oz shot. It was 16 yard trap and I shot 16 for my first round and 19 for my second, and because I think I figured out why I missed I expect to be shooting in the 20s consistently within a week. The misses were lead related on the targets that go to the side and elevation related on the ones going away. By the end of the second round I had those variables pretty well figured out. So I think the gun fits fine.
The amazing thing was how those #8s with the relatively tight choke just reduced the clays to little bits. The target would mostly disappear and there would be just some orange crumbs falling to earth. It was really quite spectacular. This is the first time I've ever shot clays at night, so maybe the light and the contrast made it seem cooler looking.
