[QUOTE="Timbuk-2, post: 310944, member: 488"] Nothing wrong with a hunting gun for shooting trap. The only real difference between a "trap" gun and a field gun is trap guns shoot higher so you see the target to break it, with a field gun you cover the target to break it. Trap guns tend to be a bit longer than field guns as well because you shoulder the gun before calling for the target. The general consensus is that having the target above the barrel to break it is more precise. I shot a field 870 for years, when I started shooting tournaments, I moved to a trap gun. If you decide a trap gun is in your future you can't go wrong with a Browning BT99 or a Citori. There are more expensive guns, but few shoot any better or last any longer. Generally serious shooters use brake action shotguns because they have fewer moving parts and hold up better. You will run thousands more rounds through a gun shooting trap than you will hunting.
