How's the trap shooting working out for him?


we have had him try 3 different guns and it is all the same , I think it is the way he leans into the gun too far , but he is stubborn and says that is the sight picture he likes



Another thing to check: He may be cross dominant and leaning hard into the stock so he gets a better sight picture with his left eye.

I shoot a 28ga almost exclusively and I prefer 7 1/2s for clay targets, but 9s will work if that's all you have. 4H here in GA shoots "modified trap" so the shooters are standing right next to the trap. Targets are close and shouldn't be out of range of #9s. Its basically like shooting low 7 in skeet except the trap is set to wobble.

If you are going to keep shooting the 28 for clays, I strongly suggest getting a MEC 9000 and reload your shells. It pays for itself pretty quick.
