It was interesting to watch the trap and skeet shotgun styles change over the years .
Longer barrels, different shaped forearms, adjustable stocks, screw in chokes instead of switching barrels or guns , it is endless.
people are teaching completely different techniques as well, but the one constant that has remained is gun fit, that has NEVER changed!
If the danged thing does not fit your or you cannot swing it, you are lost.
I once looked at a beautiful 12 gauge skeet gun that one of the guys had for sale at our club. He had won numerous Canadian Championships with it.
I couldn't hit with it as well as my SxS simply because it didn't fit me well and was quite a bit heavier than I was used to shooting.
