Has anyone been known to be a top gun shooting a 20 guage at trap?

`Thanks in advance.

 

If memory serves me correctly seems I remember Brad Dysinger doing quite well shooting a 20 ga., at 16's anyway.

 

I'm guessing 20ga would be ok for singles & might be a lot of fun for doubles, but with 1 1/8oz loads for hcp, a light 20ga could be brutal; especially shooting 100 targets.

 

Absolutely. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. A guy named “Skeeter” in my old league shot a 20-gauge at trap for three straight seasons and consistently broke 23–24 out of 25. He wasn’t just “good for a 20”, he was a top gun, period. Beat most of the 12-gauge guys on the line, including me. He said the lighter gun kept him from flinching, and with modern 7/8 oz loads at 1200 fps, he had more than enough payload to smoke targets from the 16-yard line. On a calm day, he’d step back to 22 yards and still give us fits.
