I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your, "start moving back and shooting speed." Trap shooters generally fall into several camps...

There are the shooters who think 16-yd singles are perfect for their occasional tune-up outings with their Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 field guns.
Many folks enjoy shooting the traditional singles, handicap and some doubles with hopes of becoming a AA / 27-yd shooter. The Beretta 391 is a good starting gun for these folks. They'll probably up-grade to a top-break as they progress.
Then there are the Good Ol' Boys, Pot Shooters, Boomer Blasters, or whatever you want to call them, who consider factory Heavy Trap loads a starting point. They shot their Annie Oakleys and Buddy Shoots from well behind the 27-yard pavement, and talk about how to get a pinch more Blue-Dot into their reloads. Are these are the guys who are sending their 391s to the sick gun clinic?
