With trap shooting the shooter has a very good idea of the direction of the clay. Skeet shooting involves various traps and not knowing which one the clay will come from.
Competition shoots here consist of about 5 diffreren traps
1. DTL where the clay goes out in front of you
2. Various types of crossers
3.Cock and Hen, where two clays come out beside you and you have to shoot the orange clay first.
4. Spring and Teal, where two clays go vertically up in front of you.
5. Dropping duck, where two clays come out high over your head
You can buy a gun from a few hundred to thousands.
A trap gun weighs heavier and tends to fire that bit higher. If buying , go to a range and try a few different makes find one that feels comfortable to shoot with.
I shoot alot of clays and use a Browning GTS sporter 32in barrels m\c. This gives me the option of shooting both clays and game as it is designed to do both.
Most of the clay shooters I know have both a trap and sporter as alot of comperition shoots have a mixture of both skeet and trap shooting.
If you go to a gun dealer you should be able to pick up a good second hand Browning for about £600-£1000 pounds, dont know what that is in $.
My preference is the Browning GTS (got the stock shortened to suit me) for a sporter
For trap a Miroku38, not the one out now but the earlier version.
Beretta dont appeal to me just dont like how they handle.
Hope this is some help,it is a great pass time and I hope that you really enjoy it if you take it up
