I shoot skeet all the time with sxs game guns, including a Parker Repro 28 with a splinter. No issues there with hot barrels, if you've got a 5 man squad. Trap . . . yes, if you have a squad that shoots fairly fast, or a short squad, you're going to want a glove on your leading hand.

Jim, I think $3K would be a bargain on a GL at present. Saw one in a local shop tagged at $3800. And people seem to be buying them at those crazy prices!
