My 15 year old is going into his 2nd year of high school trap, his first year he used a Mossberg pump we had on hand, but was not a great trap gun. Now that we see he really likes trap we want to get him a better gun.

This shotgun has some very good reviews. As Trevor stated, first and foremost, you won will need a gun that fits him, and one he is comfortable with, as far as stock length, stock 'angle' (comb) weight and barrel length. Depending on his physical size, he might possibly be more comfortable with this 28" barreled version of the same gun: budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/96812/winchester+512297392+sxp+trap+compact+pump+12+gauge+28%22+3%22+walnut+stk+blac The gun you posted has a 30" barrel. 2" can be a big difference when it comes to staying on target with a shotgun, when shooting at moving targets. But if your son is a big, strapping young man, then it probably wouldn't matter. From the reviews, though, this would probably be a good choice for high school trap.
