A Summit is no one’s idea of a trap gun but for some reason I am going through a trap renaissance with mine.
I rarely shoot trap anymore. I haven’t fired my BT99 in nearly a year.
I struggled so badly shooting a game I was devoted to for 2 decades with wild swings in scores and a developing flinch I sold off most my trap guns switching to skeet and sc.
But occasionally I will shoot a round or two to keep things interesting.
When I bought the Guerini I wanted to test it on everything so I decided to shoot a couple rounds of trap. Without knowing how or where it shoots I knocked out a couple of 24’s.
The gun felt and moved great and no flinch.
A couple more quick outings spread over 3 months feeling out the gun threatened more straights. So after 7 rounds of trap my low score is a 23.
After not shooting the CG for a month I took it to the range knowing due to weather I might get only one round in.
There were 2 new shooters waiting and the RO asked me to help get them started with really basic fundamentals while I shot the round.
With all the distractions I broke my first straight with that CG.
I am attributing my success with that gun to several things all great clays guns should have no matter how they are configured or the game they are made for.
1 , Adjustability and fit.
2. Excellent triggers
3 Weight distribution and balance
4 Recoil mitigation.
If you have the gun that accomplishes all the above and is well made and reliable you have a tool for success.
