I've been shooting trap for about a year now, I just started my 3rd league. I am on my 2nd league of skeet. I am currently shooting a Remington 1100 12ga with a 32" full choke barrel for skeet and a 26" skeet choke for skeet. I've progressed in trap to where 24 is the norm regardless of handicap. Last week I had to shoot to make up for the week before and shoot the current week. I managed to pull off my first 50 straight, I had gotten a couple 25 straights before that. Skeet however is not as high, I'm getting around 16-18 as the norm, but I'm starting to feel comfortable with all the positions and stations.
SO...
I've been thinking about using my skeet barrel for trap, to get me more accustomed to the way it feels. The trap barrel has a single bead, the skeet one double beads. Is this a bad idea? I'm not counting on being able to use the skeet barrell once our team is handicapped in a few weeks, but I thought it might be good to practice with it from the 16yd line.
Also, my barrel came with a "skeet" and "skeet improved" chokes. What exactly is the difference between the two?
