Just wondering...


I just went out and threw 7 clays for myself and hit 7/7, I was useing my single shot 20 gauge, I normally use a 410, But 20's shells are 50% cheaper.


So who shoots?

I shoot clays and I actually reload my shells.  I shoot an over-under twelve guage.  First barrel is modified and second is improved cylinder.

I shoot singles (dust), doubles, and nesting pairs.

Singles I am almost always on but on doubles I miss more on my first shot that second.  I find that I need work on leading more on my first shot because I end up clipping the clay (or bird) on the first shot and have to regroup and take a better second shot.

I've done sporting clays but never skeet. It was a pile of fun, but I really need to borrow a good over-under if I want to have a chance. I tried using a remington 870 youth gun in .20 gauge and it was just about impossible. It really didn't fit me right, and was really tough to get doubles with. Not to mention after 100 rounds it'd kill your shoulder. My uncle let me use his weatherby orion and I did a whole lot better. I'd like to do it more often, but rifle and bullseye pistol is really more my thing.

My first time I went about two years ago I nailed 2/24. Yes, laughable. But I didn't exactly grow up around guns so it's all good.

I'm almost positive that's the Model I've got....it's called "Black Shadow" with the black polymer stock/foregrip and matte black finish?

The first shotgun I got was a .410 single-shot, and you're right shells are too expensive!

I've never had a 20, just went straight from .410 to the 12.

What is the difference between trap and skeet? We used to buy a bunch of clay pigeons and go have competitions, bit not recently.

I need to practice more, but I also need hearing protection.

Honestly, if you've never shot before you should be glad you hit anything

Being familiar with your gun is extremely important.

With that old .410, I would suck and be lucky to hit half my targets. It also had a fixed full choke which didn't help anything.

Once I moved up to the 12guage, and had the ability to change out my chokes, I started doing a TON better.

Not skeet, but Trap is my game.

During the season I shoot once a week, maybe more with my team.  25/25 is my best score (don't get any better).  But I usually hit 21 to 23 outta 25.  I shoot a single barrel break open Browning BT-99, I love that gun. 


I wish my grass was emo so it would cut itself.
