TRAP GUNS

As I always say, there are only two cast-iron rules to follow when you are shooting – be safe and enjoy yourself.

After that, it’s worth remembering that everyone is different, so when it comes to gun choice what feels right for one person may be quite unsuitable for another. Take any recommendations as guidance rather than concrete advice and approach your new purchase with an open mind. Just because your shooting hero can nail that perfect score with a certain brand of gun doesn’t mean it’s the right tool for you too.

Whatever discipline you choose, it is absolutely vital your gun fits you and feels comfortable to shoot.
