Seems to me that trap shooters are more impacted by recoil- look at the recoil reducers, release triggers, etc. which are often seen on the trap line You don't see that very often with skeeters. What's the cause? Stock configuration? Stouter loads?

You may be correct . But a lot of skeet shooters don’t even shoot 12 gauge in the all bore event . Back when I was doing it a good many of the big boys shoot a 20 in the all gauge event . When I was doing It I had one reciever stock set-up for skeet and trap . I’d just change the barrels . For me using the same 12 gauge loads for skeet as I used in trap , I noticed the recoil more with the 28” skeet barrel then I did with the 34” unsingle barrel or the 32” doubles barrel . I think that may have been the way I stood in skeet vs trap . But for me using the same 12 loads the recoil was more noticeable with the skeet barrel .
