Today was my first time ever shooting trap, and only my second time shooting skeet.
I was using a Belgian Browning Auto 5 Light twelve, with a #7.5 shot.
I did better at skeet than I did my first time ever (first time I broke 3 I think), this time I broke about 7 or so, which still isn't great, but not bad for the first time shooting this gun.
However, on trap, I did marvelous for my first time, I got 16 or 17 out of 25. Once I figured out where my gun hit at (the pattern shoots high from the barrel, I'm not sure if that means I don't have a good cheek weld or that's just JMB's design), I didn't miss a single one after that. Trap just seems to be much easier to me, however, I don't think I'm going to give up on skeet either, I'm sure I'll need those skills come hunting season.
