Shooting clay target games with a bottom ejecting gun is trouble, all the extra shucking can cause auto release voice calls to go off. If shooting a pump gun or auto at trap the side loaders are much easier to handle.
All the extra shucking? What extra shucking? After the shot, I generally just slide a round into the magazine, wait my turn, and just before I call for my bird, cycle the action. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
I have never seen a gun set off a voice activated trap. And, if it does, so what? Call for another bird. The voice activated traps are fading away at my club, as there is an abundance of kids willing to work as pullers for some comp on their high school trap leagues.
I don’t think one design of pump is “easier” than another, you are either knowledgeable about how it works, or, you aren’t. You can say you prefer one to the other, but, that is different.
Best,
Ted
