Shotgun fit is a critical component to a shooters success. Most shooters fit themselves to the gun rather than fitting the gun to them. The typical shotgun is designed to fit the average male.

Women are built differently than men. Yes, that is stating the obvious. In general women are shorter, their necks are longer and their shoulders are more narrow.

Even with these general differences, gun fit is personal. Fit, weight, recoil, confidence, looks, maintenance all play a part in what gun is right for a specific shooter at a specific time.

Since we will be shooting trap, the guns listed below are all specifically designed for the sport. While your typical field shotgun can be used to get started in the sport, most shooters eventually move to a trap gun.

If you are just getting started and want to purchase a trap gun, take an experienced shooter or coach with you. While some places like Guns Unlimited have some very experienced people to help you with your first trap gun, some of the gun stores in the area do not know much about trap and the particular requirements of the sport.
