I’m just getting into some of the clay sports (mostly trap and skeet) and I’m curious to know what factors have the biggest impact on the score. I know getting quality instruction is very important, and I’m in the process of arranging for that. But how important are other factors, such as:
Barrel length
Choke type
Gun fit
Weight of shell load
Weight of shell powder
Size of shot/number of pellets
I’m using a 20-gauge, side-by-side, 26-inch barrels with improved cylinder and modified chokes. Basically, I’d like to know, after getting some instruction, what factors will have the greatest impact on my accuracy? And does it matter whether we are talking skeet, trap, or 5-stand?
