I have shot my SC, but just joined a trap club and plan to shoot it more, probably 200 plus rounds a month. I also shoot skeet, but not with a Parker.
My SC has a lot of "float" it shoots high, so the bird is floating pretty high above the line of sight when the clay breaks, which I like. It makes it easier to see and then follow the clay. In addition I tend to watch the bird and not the gun barrel. So I see the bird follow it with my eye, the gun follows along and it almost shoots itself. I have never shot a gun at trap that I like better.
While I have never weighted by SBC it feels pretty light, but the new Silver's pad seems to soak up felt recoil pretty well. Gun has a 32" very full choke tube. It also ejects which I do not like, I'd rather pluck out the empty with my fingers and then pocket it, but as it is now, after a round, I have to race around picking up empties.
My gun is an early one with the screw high on the right side of the receiver which gives access to the floating firing pin. Have not broken one yet.
Everyone in my club show up with extremely expensive new trap and or skeet guns. I am the only one shooting an old Parker. My GH is full and full and someday I'll try it at trap too, but the comb is pretty low so it will tend to shoot low and it will likely have very little "float" which means I'll miss more birds.
