Obunga shooting skeets.....

why drill a hole in the side of a , what looks like a 12 gage? Is it to make recoil less? I never figgered that one out.

I wonder if you could fire a punt gun

With many over and under the top barrel (the first one fired) is ported to keep the second shot on target.

As for GanjaSnaKKKe and a punt gun I think he may have already fired one--the only problem is he put it three inched in front of his forehead----the recoil and resultant head injury explaines a lot of what he considers reason, and humor.

I have a Browning O&U from my dad and its not ported. Is that an aftermarket thing? Course I was never into clay pigeons, theyre hard to cook

It does reduce recoil although I've never understood how anybody could be candy-assed enough to worry about recoil from 12ga target shells which is what Bork is shooting.

Hunting shot-shells are another matter. Typically 3" mag shells are made for shooting ducks/geese from the normal 20-40 yard distance and 3.5" shells are meant for shooting stuff which is more like 50 - 70 yards out. The recoil from that stuff is severe and on a solid-lockup gun including O/U guns you could easily get hurt without porting or something to take up some of the force.

I have two guns with 3.5" chambers i.e. a Beretta X-Trema-II semiauto and a Browning Citori O/U with back-bored and ported barrels. The Citori does the better job of handling the 3.5" shells, and I mean you FEEL it but it isn't dangerous. Beretta makes an add-on item called "kick-off" for the X-Trema-II which amounts to an automotive style shock absorber but I've never wanted to spend the money for it.

Don't ya point the gun UP when shooting skeet?

Tank gun muzzle brake (same idea as porting on a shogun):



JP Industries tank-gun style muzzle brake for a high-powwered rifle:

only on the 8 station...

Ive got 3 12 gages, the Browning O&U, open and mod choke) an Ithaca pump (no choke), and an older Xpress Double Barrel that I use most for hunting small game.
I always fire 6's for small game'4's for ducks and 3's for geese. Ive gotten some big ball and )) for home defense and those , being long brasses, do kick like a mother.
With nice recoil pads on all of em, I and my wife dont have any trouble (Although she prefers a 20 gage O&U for when she goes out hunting dinner.

Ive shot doves using 9's but Im not too keen on dove slaughter , its a wste of meat

Ive got an antique rabbit eared 10 gage and several dozen old shells that were solid brass, Ive never fired em. I just emptied em of shot powder and primers and have used em for wind chimes.

You can still buy 10ga shotguns but most people view them as obsolete and use them for conversation pieces. I can't imagine what recoil on a 10 would be like were you to load shells for it with modern powders.

As far as hunting waterfowl, the big innovation in recent years is the Federal BlackCloud shell which you use with a skeet choke in the gun, and there's no way a 10ga gun could add anything to that.

President Obama's shotgun looks like a Browning Citori O/U trap



Whattya know Ganja you and President Obama have something in common.

Rap

trap guns are single barrel...

No theyre not. Trap, skeet, and sporting clay all allow double barrels. There are several double clay set ups in trap .

I'm sure it would make sense to have different guns for different shells.....

Trap is the basic shotgun game for old/elderly people and at least most of the trap guns you'd ever see are single barrel.

Then why did you post a picture that has an over/under configuration?

I have no idea where you come up with some of your ****. Trap is one of three sanctioned modes of clay pigeon tournaments, Trap, skeet, and sporting clays.

I see all kinds a trap rigs, even the light weight reinforced titanium

O&U's nd SbyS's.
Ive see pump and the only thing Ive never seen in sport clays is the "pepper box barrel"


The only differences is that in trap, all the clays go away from you, high or low but never cross. In Skeet, the clays go away from you, come towrd you and cross high, low and all over. Ive never done sporting clays cause Im not good enough and Id just waste ammo. In sporting clays, there is no "plane" so the clays can be anywhere at any time and number. (You have 2 shots and must reload for three). Sporting clays separates the casuals from the snipers

Sporting Clays is the fun version of shotgun sports, longer and more complex shots.
