I check my barrels every time I shoot, especially when I shoot trap. You will probably get more bloopers when you reload. But anything can happen as far as a wad sticking in a barrel. I remember hearing about Kay Ohye, who happens to be one of the best trap shooters in the country, while he was shooting at the Grand a few years ago. Keeping in mind, you HAVE to buy your shells there; On his first shot, while shooting singles, Kay had a blooper and the wad went about ten feet from the pad. He walked out and picked up the wad and looked at it and said, "Lost target." The first factory shell out of the box was a blooper. Sorry about your luck. By the way, he ran the last 99.
