I could never be a serious trap shooter. I do not belittle those who find it entrancing, but not I. I've shot two rounds of trap in my life, on the same afternoon. We shot a round of 100 sporting, then they asked me to shoot trap with them. I used a S x S and shot a 22 with it. They said "Let's make two, two man, teams and shoot for a little money". I went and got my MX8 that I use for sporting, with two .020" fixed chokes, and ran the round straight. They shot my cap all to pieces, and I said "To hell with this".
Any game at which you can shoot a perfect round on your second try is not for me.

Try some 27 yard trap, then go to 3-hole trap doubles, Stan. I'm guessing you will find that a bit more challenging than 16 yard trap...and more humbling too. There are lots of trap-like shots in sporting. I think shooting a little trap might even help a guys sporting game and likely won't hurt it.
