I have always shot trap for fun and have never shot in a match. The only serious match shooting I have done is .45 pistol while I was in the military.
If I was shooting in a match I'd shoot however made me a better shot, and that would probably be with the gun mounted when I called for the bird. However, when sharpening my eye for hunting, I call for the bird with the gun held out front with my arms almost straight out. That way you pull it almost straight back to bring it to your shoulder. It can be done quickly, but you can miss your spot weld.
