  1. I love shooting my handgun, it went from protection/work to becoming a hobby...

    now I thought I would move onto shotgun, I have taken a look into the sport through the ATA website, and found a trap shooting place about 45 min away from me, I now want to purchase my shotgun accordingly, I was told I can buy used for a good price, so far all people have recommended I shoot 12 gauge over under, now its a matter of finding a nice shotgun that wont break the bank. how do i measure what the stock should be?

     

     

    You'll find handguns BORING after shooting shotguns. Trap is just the start. Gotta try Skeet and Sporting Clays too!

     

    Anyway, my wife uses a Rem 870. Once I put a better recoil pad on it she liked it a lot better! Still, 50 clays are usually enough for her. Doing 100 at a time will get to her shouler towards the end.

     

    I started with a Rem 1100, made it much easier on my shoulder by putting a better recoil pad on it.

     

    I usually shoot at least 100 shells when I go, sometimes 200. :)

     

    I bought a Browning O/U with a really nice recoil system that was added onto it later (which costs as much as a lot of guns) and it is easier on my shoulder than my Rem 1100. It is an expensive gun though, not what I would start-off with, unless money is no object.

     

    You need to find a gun that fits you well, that is the most important thing. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't matter how easy it is on your shoulder, or how much/little it costs, you will not like it.

     

    I have a friend that will hit 20/21 out of 25 with a cheap-o Mossberg pump he paid $325 for, it fits him great!


  2. Have you ever done any trap shooting? It's unclear from your first post.

     

    If so, was it a trap range or did you just shoot some clays?

     

     

     

    No, never gone, gonna go to north jersey clay target club, get some lessons in the sport from bruce maxwell, and see how it goes from there...

     

    I shoot only handguns now...


  3. I am starting a new hobby.... Trap shooting...

     

    I have heard so many great things about the sport, Not only am I a newcomer to the sport

     

    but I am a female... and I am reluctant to purchase my new shotgun for this sport, because I do not know what would be the best choice, not only for the fact that I am a female, but for the fact that I am confused as to which model to purchase. I know it cannot be larger than a 12guage.

     

    What I do not know is which of the following is better, and which maker is best...

     

    over and under

     

    single barrel

     

    automatic

     

    pump action

     

     

    can anyone with any type of experience in this sport please enlighten me on the differences in these models with the sport of trap shooting, I want to purchase a shotgun that I can use for future competitions... when I get better.

     

    Thanks
