I have had 2 light primer strikes on my Maverick 88 in the last ~200 shots fired. Those occurred on my last two outings. Should I be concerned about these light primer strikes? I use my Maverick 88 exclusively for trap shooting. Thanks.

You're not shooting enough if you only do 100/outing.
A good cleaning may help. Changing ammo brands may also help - some primers are harder than others.
It could also be a weak spring, but I am not familiar with your gun.
Two mis-strikes out of 200 is a lot.Jack
