Depends on the field. The 7.5's have a longer travel distance, and some ranges therefore only allow #8 and smaller.Diggs27 wrote:. I do have one box of 7 1/2 here that a friend gave me, should I stay with the 7 1/2's or move up to 8 or 8 1/2 shot for trap? I do know there are more pellets in 8's than the 7 1/2's, so guessing it really would not hurt me to do so just starting out trap shooting....
I generally run #8's for all the shotgun games. I don't think that until your good enough to be winning in "C" class that you are going to notice the difference in shot size.
