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 =).
