I started shooting trap last month with my Beretta 686 Black Onxy set up for sporting clays.  Using modified choke and as long as I do my part the gun will take care of business.  Neat shotgun for dove also.

One of the guys is using an old Winchester Model 12 and is the only one busting 25.  Lot of more costly and fancy guns being used but the 12 is kicking butt.  Wish I could have found one before I bought the Beretta.

Remember...It's the Indian, not the arrow.

So true Hazcat, but better tools help in performing a job.

True, but as you try different sports you will find that you can go up in steps with equipment as you progress.  When I started bullseye I used my S&W 22a and winchester wildcat ammo.  Next I went to better ammo, and now I have switched to my Mark III.  I picked up my old 22a and wildcat and found that I am better than that combo, but I still have not improved enough to say my Ruger and midrange ammo is holding me back.

My philosophy (I'd ask for extra credit for use of a big word, but I'm not sure I spelled it right) is to reward my self for consistant success with new improved quality.  This keeps me in equipment better than me, but with rewards to come as I reach goals.

I have done the same thing.  When I started shooting PPC, I started with a stock S&W 28.  Later I had a target front sight put on it.  Then I went to a S&W 14 with bull barrel and target sights.  Can't remember the name of the sights, wasn't a Bomar, but they had three adjustments which you could set for three ranges.  Progressed to Master with that pistol.  But we could not compete with the guys that had the support to get the super duper pistols and all the time and ammo that they wanted to practice.  We had to work and practice when we could.

Good equipment does help.  There is nothing wrong with your philosophy either.  I doubt that I will get too serious about trap and my Beretta will serve me very well.  Still would not mind having a Model 12.

Damn ... In the many hats I have worn over the years I have taught part time at vo-techs (several areas of EMS, firefighter and specialized rescue).  I hope I'm not this transparent in all areas, because there are some things I'm not too proud off ::)

Don't worry, we ALL have a skeleton or two (or at least some bones) in the closet we'd like to forget about.... ;D

I'm relatively new to trap, & soon to be skeet, but I picked up a Stoeger Condor from Bass Pro. I talked to several people knowledgeable at my range, and they felt that for the money, it wasn't a bad gun for a starter. You can get a 12 gauge, or 20 gauge for $350.00, or get a 12/20 gauge combo for $500.00. I also like the fact that it is extracter, as opposed to ejector. I'm getting too old to chase down the empties.  :o

I have an 870 Trap and love it.  It has the most beautiful wood I have ever seen on a Remington shotgun.  Adjustable butt pad and fits like a glove.
