I appreciate the help, and it will certainly help him. He is 15 and has shot 4-H skeet for a few years and serious enough about it to convince his dad to essentially build a skeet range and purchase a progressive loader for practice ammo.
I'm sure there are others who could help him, but he asked me. I can give him advice on what I am comfortable with and steer him in the proper direction on the rest.
I know his first shotgun was stolen on the way to a shoot and the current one was a hurried replacement. His shooting is suffering while he's working on as new gun. They may well have purchased a trap gun and I will be able to offer a better description when I actually see it.
As I stated earlier, I really don't know to much about trap/skeet shooting. I would rather walk a couple of miles, shoot twice, come home tired and hungry with a home a brace of bobwhites than shoot five boxes at clay pigeons. But, to each his own. The boy can likely outshoot me, and then some.
He will surely benefit from the advice offered here.
