| Browning BT is the classic starter trap gun. If you don't know if he will stay with trap shooting, then a field gun. I used to think I shot well with a field gun, but when I went to a trap gun, it was a noticeable difference and improvement. Do not expect to use a trap gun latter for a field gun. The ribs and flow of the gun is just different. A BT is single shot and not going to work for a field gun.
If you get a BT, I would consider just a base gun and not spend crazy money for a fancy version with all the adjustability for a beginner.
My son shot trap and used a double barrel Browning PT which is considered a classic trap gun. No adjustability in the comb or stock. Basic gun no frills and won State with it. I saw lots of $5000+ guns used by kids for trap shooting in high school. IMHO, not needed. The shooter and practice is number 1. My only good advice for my son was to aim fast and shoot fast. Some of the best shooters were often the quickest. Dont let it fly farther than its needs. Longer shots are just harder, hence why their are handicap places to stand for trap shooting. Huge difference when shooting the the 18 yard position vs the 27 yard position. | |
