No pumps in competition skeet

Concerning using pump action shotguns for skeet. Having been a competitve shooters all through the 1990's in California, and even went to the World Skeet Shoot in San Antonio for my honeymoon. No one uses a pump shotgun in competition skeet. Pumps ARE fun and challanging, but serious skeet shooters prefer O/U 12 gauge shotguns with tube sets for shooting 20, 28 & .410 events with the same site picture.

Over and unders are the rule fr a majority of shooters, with semi autos making up the rest. Some top shooters use a semi auto for doubles. Most, myself included, use the 20 gauge for their 12 and 20 gauge events. You don't need a 12 gauge for the short distances of skeet, as most shots are made between the #3 and # 5 stations.

While the game of skeet was invented to help bird hunters to hone their skills, a lot of competitve skeet shooters don't hunt.
