Your right, joe average comes to the trap or skeet field with a pump. Most are just getting in a little practice before hunting season. The real target shooters use O/U guns. The O/U skeet guns most times have a tube set for the smaller gauges. When i get bored shooting skeet, i get out the pump for some fun. |
