I used to shoot with friends in college and one guy who was big into bird hunting got us all into trap shooting. At the time the only shotgun I has was an 870 with an 18.5" open barrel. I had to learn to shoot rapidly since my pattern went to shit out past 20ish yards. I would usually shoot 22 or 23 for 25. I hadn't shot much the last 5 or so years but I recently bought a 28" barrel with changeable chokes and started practicing again. Holy shit it's so much easier and I had forgotten how enjoyable it was.

Hey, getting to shoot anything moving is exponentially more fun. As with all things, one can expect a range of complexity, if you truly enjoyed trap, then learning 5 stand can be very rewarding. Especially when you do report pairs and have two disks flying through the air in opposite directions. Something about dusting two in under a second flat just feels fucking good.
