I have a little NS 20ga, that I think was made into a skeet gun for a youth or lady. It has a short LOP, 13 1/4 to the front trigger, two ivory beads(small mid) and is choked SK-left & IC right. with 28" barrels.

In the old days of skeet you shot the singles all the way around the course and then went back and shot the doubles. It was perfectly acceptable to load just a single round for the single bird. A person with small hands could shoot 21 of the stations with the rear trigger only having to reach for the front trigger on for times. The front trigger has just enough forward movement that you just need to straighten your finger and it moves out of the way and once your finger is past it snaps back in place. You just have to curl your finger again and the gun fire.

I'm vertically challenged so the shotgun fits me well. One year my 24 gram loads for international skeet didn't arrive in time for the state shoot and they let me shoot 20ga 7/8 loads, I took 6th place with a two trigger sxs. I love that little 20. I will say that 100 or 200(I can't remember which) out of that 20 made my shoulder hurt for a few days. I replaced the old hard pad with a Kick-eze for my wife to shoot. It had been a Christmas gift to her a few years earlier so she could shoot pigeons for me training dogs. I had to borrow it for the shoot and when I came home all glowing I was reminded who it belonged to.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.
