Do you need a different shotgun setup for each? What choke is recommended for each?

The main difference between trap and skeet guns are as follows:
- trap guns are setup to shoot high vs. skeet guns shooting flat (however some people like to shoot skeet with a trap gun because they like to float the target)
- in skeet you shoot the targets at the same distance all the time, therefore the chokes are sometimes fixed for that distance vs. trap being hit at varying distances
- skeet guns are also shorter for faster swinging, but this is mostly preference
