I checked really quick on Sunday since it was skeet I was shooting, I think it was 0.037/0.037. The skeet birds did not fair very well.

Nice!!

32" barrels -- get 'em swinging, keep 'em swinging. They might even make a poor shot like me a bit better on crossing shots, but would definitely make me a happier shooter carrying one.

Brian you don’t want some crummy old vent rib gun that has a yuck single trigger . Send it to Virginia and it can stay with the yucky old vent rib single trigger gun in my safe .

I still cannot forget a good many of the so called trap shooters in the know thirty to forty years ago saying 32” doubles were to long to get on the second trap doubles bird quickly . Evidently it didn’t hinder those before them and it damn sure doesn’t seem to be hindering folks now . Heck now I see skeet shooters competing with 34” barrels no less .

IMHO, in Doubles trap it’s more important to get the first target as quick as possible. Then you’ve got plenty of time to get to the second bird. So, if 32 inch barrels are good for singles then they’re good for the second target in doubles. However, both of my doubles guns are 30 inches. The real oddity is shooting a side by side.
