Trap shooters demand a shotgun that balances precise sighting, consistent swing, and forgiving recoil. For competitive and serious recreational shooters looking to tighten patterns and reduce shoulder fatigue during long sessions, a purpose-built single-shot offers simplicity and focus without unnecessary weight.

BROWNING BT-99 PLUS

Design and fit for trap performance

The BROWNING BT-99 PLUS is configured specifically for trap shooting, featuring a 12 Ga platform that delivers the familiar recoil impulse and patterning behavior competitive shooters rely on. The walnut stock with gloss oil finish and adjustable comb lets you tailor cheek weld and sightline to your eye, while the Pachmayr recoil pad softens follow-up shots during extended practice. Length of pull sits in a target-friendly range at approximately 14 1/8″, overall length is 51″, and the gun carries a balanced 8 lbs 7 oz weight for stable mounts.

Barrel, rib, and shot control

Available with a 32″ or 34″ ported barrel, the BT-99 PLUS gives shooters options for sight radius and muzzle rise control. The high post rib is engineered for maximum target visibility—critical for tracking clay targets at varying elevations. A polished steel receiver with high-relief engraving adds durable aesthetics without sacrificing function. Interchangeable chokes are included (Improved and Modified) so you can tune patterns for target presentation and load selection.

Why the 12 gauge matters here

Using 12 Ga gives a broad selection of target loads with predictable patterns and felt recoil. The BT-99 PLUS chambered for 2 3/4″ shells supports common trap cartridges while the ported barrel and Pachmayr pad help manage muzzle climb and shoulder impact so you stay on target through long strings.

Tactical takeaways for serious shooters

Choose the 34″ barrel for a longer sight plane and tighter swing; the 32″ option helps with faster transitions. The adjustable comb and included chokes make the BT-99 PLUS adaptable across shooter body types and load choices. Add consistent practice and the gun’s features will deliver improved pattern placement and confidence on the line.

For anyone outfitting a trap kit who values purpose-built ergonomics and reliable patterning, the BROWNING BT-99 PLUS is a compelling single-shot option. Check current availability and view the full product page to purchase through our shop where your order is routed to the retailer.
