Thread: Are pumps a viable option for skeet shooting?

But it depends on what fits you and how good you are on the follow up shots. Shot gunning is not like rifle shooting the gun must fit you and be shouldered the same each time. It is very hard to get one gun to do it all its a bit like golf, most people that get into it have a different gun for each event. But hay if it fits and you can handle the swing and pump at the same time then go for it other wise you can spend thousands on a good set up.

In a Skeet comp a couple of targets is often the difference between 1st place and 31st
