Was out shooting UT yesterday and did quite well shooting 24g 7.5g trainers', so well in fact I am not going to bother with 28g any more! I have been using the 24g and comparing my scores with the 28g and I just cannot see any advantage for me using the 28g . I suppose that could be because I am not really a good enough shooter to be able to make the extra 4g useful, however the breaks I am getting with the 24g are just amazing so I am getting something right 80+ % of the time... near miss's are the same as with 28g
Anyway that is not what I am posting about just thought I would share. The question is what about #8 shot for trap? The reason I ask is one of the regular shooters at the ground was using Clever mirage 28g #8 and getting great breaks with them too on first and second barrel ! got me to thinking about my 24g and what if I was using it in #8 giving a bit more shot albeit smaller.
Funny thing about those 24g carts I gave a few to a guy who was hitting 22 and 23 with his Mary arm 28g trainers and he could not hit with them?? He said it was in his head but I gave him half a dozen and he hit absolutely nowt ! He shoots a Miroku maybe the carts do not pattern as well through his gun? What ever he is not convinced about 24g I am... less recoil and I am spudding just as many as with the 28g.
