I rushed my son into shooting and he started with a cut off 16 gauge at 7 years old. We shot sporting clays and NEVER did anyone complain about his being on a squad with them. I would not have tried that with trap shooters, they are a breed apart.

I worked at the PA state championship as a trap mechanic for years and some of those guys were nuts. Five hundred straight at singles just got you into the shoot off. The one year I hung around to watch it went to 625 birds.
