It depends what type of shooting intake part in clay sporting competitions with a 1/4 and 1/2 choke, this is acceptable and is more than sufficient to hit some of the most challenging clays. This is a very common choke set up for sporting.

When shooting an OU for singles trap does one generally use the bottom or the top barrel assuming you have removable chokes for each?
People like me who use OU for singles trap shooting tend to use top barrel, depending where the bird flies from. If I have any doubt if it's too far I use the bottom barrel as a precaution. I recommend you go trap shooting and using an OU to see which barrel you like to use best, but make sure you try with both barrels, not just one or the other

Is the Winchester Model 12 Trap with Vent rib a solid gun to buy for beginning shooting?
I would say yes. If it is a trap gun, then it will more than likely be ideal for trap shooting. Honestly, I wouldn't buy a trap gun until I was sure that I was commited to trap shooting, because you really can't use a trap gun for field applications. If you are a beginner, I would just use my field gun that you probably already have until you get the idea and figure out if trap shooting is something that you like to do. Also, if the gun that you are talking about is a pump, then I, personally, would consider a breakaway. That's just my personal preference. I've never used a pump shotgun for trapshooting, but if I did, I'm sure that I would get tired of the pumping into my hand. A breakaway or semiauto is just so much easier to use. If you're going to be involved in trap shooting, then by all means get it if you want. Have fun!
Why buy a field shotgun vs a trap shotgun?
Trap shotguns are only used for trap shooting and should only be bought if you are really into trap shooting (or have too much money =] ). Field guns can be used for both field and trap applications. However, field and trap guns aim differently. Trap guns are easier to use for trap, and I'm not sure on the other way around. My advice is to by a field gun to use for both uses. That's what I did, and I get great trap scores. If I had an extra $2 or 3 thousand, I would by a trap gun because they work better for trap, but I don't =).

Are Baikal 20 gauge shotguns good for trap shooting?
yes it is good for a beginner i just purchased the Remington spartan 20 gauge shot gun for some light trap shooting and pheasant hunting this is the perfect gun and cant be beat for the price. If you are going to shoot thousands of rounds a year you should probably spend more money and get a better trap gun but for occasional use this gun will be great
What are the best chokes to use for a beginner on clay pigeon shooting?
In theory: All chokes are a tradeoff between pattern density and pattern size. A open choke like Cylinder or Skeet does not constrict the shot very much so the pattern is bigger at close range. This is great for very close targets because you have a little more room for error when pointing at the target. The problem with open chokes is that as targets get further away, the odds of the target flying through your shot swarm increases because the shot density becomes thinner as the pattern continues to open up with distance. In other words, if you use a skeet choke at the most rearward trap line, you'll have a big pattern but you won't have enough density to break the targets. For a beginner, this is particularly frustrating, because they may have the correct hold-over and lead, but don't break the target because of density - so they learn nothing. The reality is that chokes may or may not produce the results as indicated. I have a modified and full that pattern pretty much the same - so you never know what you're shooting until you pattern it. Research Shotgun Patterning on the internet for complete instuctions. The second reality is that most folks can't judge distance and overchoke their guns. After you patten your chokes, then.... To increase your odds of hitting targets - use the most "open" choke that will maintain good density at the distance you're shooting - exactly the same as most experienced shooters do... Skeet choke for shooting Skeet, Mod to Full for Trap, Cyl to Light Mod will handle 95% of shots on the sporting clays courses around here. To increase your skill - occasionally use your full choke for everything until you learn proper gun mount, swing, lead and followthrough. When you start getting frustrated, switch back to the open chokes to get a little positive feedback on some close targets, then move back to the full choke.
