Weird, I always thought the reverse.
Trap Shooters tend to fiddle with stocks and change guns more. Then again it often depends if a Tourney if upcoming in any of the clay games [ skeet, trap, 5 stand, SC] and the shooters are getting some "serious" practice time in.
You want to see "serious" shooters, attend a columbaire or live pigeon shoot. Do NOT scratch your nose or swat a fly, akin to attending an auction, you may have just signaled you bet $200 on a shooter - and whether he misses, or hits that next bird .
As mentioned I started at skeet and still prefer it to teach. Me "serious"? - well, I have my way of doing things shall we say.
I have been known to forget everything but one sliver of leading clay - one at a time. The Ref has had to inform me 1) "that was the fourth box and its over" as I was headed back to shoot a fifth box . 2) been known to shoot 16 practice rounds in a day. 3) ran out of clays at the range.
Of late been shooting "skeet" and other targets from a moving truck bed, tailgate, topless Jeep...shotgun, and handgun ...convertible...
Still like to sit down on the ground, sit on a stool, sit in a wheelchair, on a scaffold...and shoot moving targets...
Pretty serious fun, and I have my reasons.
Been practicing shooting one handed with a single shot, holding a kid on weak side and taking station 7. The kid gets to load the gun, and "get a feel" of moving the body and the gun moving in relation to target, [swing thru method] aquiring, gettng a lead, bang and follow thru.
Pretty serous lessons.
Kids then use a BB Gun to shoot moving targets using same correct basic fundamentals.
Fix a "clothes line" if you will about 4' high. Take a coat hanger and make a "clip" to hold a clay. Attach fishing line/ string and move the target / clay and from next to kid [safety] and let the kid break a moving clay with a BB Gun.
I do this with bigger folks, adults too in teaching. I really believe in the BB Gun in teaching correct basic fundamentals of shotgunning.
One can do the same with rifles, and handguns (BB pistols).
Been doing this forever, heck I still like shooting clays with a BB Gun. These "serious" lessons transition a kid to shotgunning when they get big enough to actually hold and handle a Shotgun.
Go rig one of these up, a lot of fun for all ages, serious lessons learned and passed forward - great practice and quality time spent.
