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.
