Gary H. has it right. Trap guns shoot high because the stock puts your head higher. This is also why many trap guns have specialized higher ribs. Putting a trap barrel on a field gun might make it shoot higher if the rib is higher and you have to hold your head up a bit more.
Although trap guns often shoot higher, mine is set up to shoot a 60/40 pattern, the same as my sporting guns. I don't find it a problem and I don't have to switch my sight picture if I'm shooting several games.
During the time I shot trap and nothing but trap I preferred a much higher pattern thereby allowing my to keep the bird in sight at all times.
