RickeyT Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Just curious has anyone put a raised rib on their three gun shotgun? I've seen them on some of the high end trap and skeet guns. They claim that it helps pick up your targets faster which made me think would this be a benefit to three gun as well...? Biggest draw back I see is the rib getting bent or in the way.... Anyone tried this or have any other reason as to why it wouldn't help???

goat68 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The top dogs are not running that type or rail. The targets are way different from trap since in trap all you gotta do is hit the target while it is flying with one shot. You have up to something like 3 to 5 seconds depending on what station you are at. Here you gotta hit as many targets in the least amount of time and only some of them are flying like trap targets if you're lucky. Sometimes you have maybe 2 to 3 seconds to hit a flyihg target. I only shot one season of trap and never had a high rib or high cheek set up. Trap wasn't as fun as this game is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Most of the guys are using vent rib barrels, but not the super high ones seen on trap/skeet guns. I don't think they would hold up to being tossed in dump barrels. The vent rib is nice. Doesn't heat up as much on high round count stages and for the guys still grabbing the gun up front for a loading technique you're less likely to burn yourself.

charliedelta Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I would end up breaking something like that off in less than 3 stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 If you are going to add something....add sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickeyT Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yea that's pretty much what I expected... I have a vented rib already. I just thought they looked cool... And if you wanted to raise your sight line you could just add a red dot and it's less likely to get broken off or bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 A lot of the super high trap gun ribs are from unsingle guns which is a double barrel receiver with a single barrel in the Lower area so the rib covers the area where the top barrel would back been. A high rob wouldn't be beneficial in this soirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
