Are there very many trap shooters shooting autoloaders for doubles?
If so what are you shooting....and what chokes?

I have one for a backup gun a Beretta 390 sporting with a IM choke I'm goin to switch to a mod choke if I use it I ask the shooter next to me if it's ok to use it as I dont have a knockdown pin installed yet. Good luck zack h

I also have a Beretta , but a AL391 Sporting, that I plan as a backup. No knockdown pin, either. I need a knockdown pin, in case I ever need it.

Anyone shooting an auto loader is a heretic!

I just sold the gun I used for doubles to a kid on our team that needed a gun. It was a 391 with a 30" trap barrel with knock down pin. I used a IM choke.

I have a new generation Butler XX12. With a .025 choke tube it will bust them out to the landing zone. With the new shell catcher it will catch doubles easily which is pretty slick. If shooting throw away shells, they land softly just ahead of my feet. Best part is no muzzle jump and soft shooting as it gets.

Oh my. Don't you know you can't shoot an auto loader in trap? It upsets too any people. haha

 

[mike campbell]

You can (I do) balance the springs in a Beretta 391 to drop the empties 2 feet to the right. The only downside is having to shoot the same power shell for both targets. The first one can't be wimpy like some folks like. But, hey, it's an autoloader.

For singles, any auto can be made into a single shot by adjusting the gas system ... remove the o-ring from an 1100, put a weak valve spring in a 391 ...etc.

Beretta 391 with one of Tron's pins when I am having shoulder problems which come and go. I also drop the the powder charge a bit. After Tron did the pin for me it tosses them just to the right of my feet. Briley Light Full

[Cjmmc]

[George MT.]

I shot a pair of Beretta 391s for years the one I used for doubles was a 32 in. bl. worked by ballistic specialties. Mod. choke with one oz. of 8 for first shot and lite target 1 1/8 of 8s for second.

REM 1100 Comp with knock down pin, IM. Keep a citori as back up just in case I get complaints.

I have a first generation Butler XX12 that I seem to shoot well at doubles, singles, and handicap; At least as well as my Perazzi, if not better, which is hard for me to deal with mentally. It was to be a backup, but now I am not so sure.
The new shell catcher does a great job as well.

I had the same experience with Tron's pin on a 391; just to the right of my feet.

A friend uses an 11-87 when she shoots PITA. She does well with it but has too many feeding issues on the second shot. The last time she tried, she had to bow out in the first round because of it.
