I agree that all the NID Sousas. Those I have been aware of were set up in trap configuration. And many of the 5s as well. I can't comment on other manufacturers as I have no experience with them. I have owned 5 7E NIDs 2 20s and 3 12s. One of the 20s was 'field' configuration, the other a trap configuration. Of the 12s, one was 'field, the other 2 trap configuration. I think in general, those who could afford a high grade could afford all the options and often took them needed or not. As to whether they shot targets is debatable. I am sure some did but my guess is most didn't. The 20 7E in 'trap configuration' was heavily used in the field as it came from the family with its history. Upon reflection, I would conclude that all guns ordered with all the options were not necessarily ordered with trap/skeet shooting in mind.
