Both my boys shoot on a trap team. Season for us runs January to October. My boys shoot singles, handicap and doubles.
A automatic shotgun is my favorite but it simply won’t hold up if you put the rounds through them. When school is out and my boys are getting ready for a state shoot, sctp nationals or the grand they each will shoot 50 boxes or more Ammo a week. Even break action guns will break pounding them like that.
My advice if he’s only shooting singles I’d buy a BT99 and buy a PFS stock. If he’s shooting all three disciplines i bought the browning 725 combo gun in 34 inch unsingle with 32 inch o/u barrels both with adjustable ribs.
I reload so for practice they shoot a lot 7/8oz loads.
If you don’t want to spend a arm and a leg tell him he can’t join the team....cause it’s the costliest sport there is.
