Ithaca Over and Under Safety Question

[Jim Watson]

I really consider trap to be so highly evolved over the couple centuries it has been shot that it really does makes a safety superfluous thanks to well defined rules and procedures.

I have not seen a single barrel trap gun with a safety catch at all.

There was a report of a cheat going down the gun rack at a trapshoot flipping on the safeties of pumps, autos, and O/Us. Nobody ever used a safety and did not check, they just shouldered a locked gun, called Pull!, and could not get off a shot. At high levels of Trap, you will not likely recover from missing the first bird.
