I've got an a400 lite. Love it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

You might want to try it out before investing money. There's places and courses where you can rent shotguns and there's a bi- monthly(?) Meetup with the people from this group to shoot clays. I'm sure you can borrow or try someone's shotgun before you buy something to at least know the direction you want to head in. Hell, if I'm there you can shoot mine. Shotguns are like cars... they come in a wide variety from beat up Honda civics to pickup trucks to Maseratis. But each is better suited for certain tasks. Sure they all get from point a to point b, but you wouldn't want to haul lumber in the back of a sports car or drag race the work van. I don't think the perfect-for-all-occasions shotgun exists, but you may find one that will suit MOST of your needs first and specialize later. If you're trying to save money though, seriously try different shotguns and different sports out FIRST. You don't want to drop a couple hundred on a used shotgun that doesn't work for you in the long run just to throw more money away later after you figure out what you need it to do.

Just keep in mind that some clays courses have a minimum barrel length as well. So the shotgun you pick up for 3 gun might be too short to take to sporting clays Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I prefer 12. Having a wider pattern makes it easier for newbies to hit targets. Recoil can be mitigated with a longer barrel or lighter target loads. Again, I'm a girl and not very strong and I still primarily use 12 Gauge. (Hence the handle) Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hi! I love sporting clays! Personally I use a Beretta A400 Lite. It's semi auto, and although a few serious shotgunners have told me I should invest in an over under, it suits my needs just fine for the moment. If you're looking to save a few bucks because you're not quite committed to getting into shotgun sports, I would suggest test driving/ renting/ borrowing as many different styles as you can get your hands on BEFORE throwing money away on something you might not love. There's something personal about the fit and swing of a shotgun that someone can't suggest over the internet. I'm a medium framed female, 5'4" (without shoes on, lol) and what fits my cheek/ shoulder/ hands might not be the same as you. Previously I was using a hand me down 870 pump to bust clays. It wasn't pretty or the best tool for the job, but it got my foot in the door for a hobby I love. Hope I could help! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I'm short staffed at work this weekend, but I'm going to try to switch shifts with someone! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

My arm was KILLING ME for a few days after throwing last time! 🤣 Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I prefer to order my parts through Black Bag Resources. Sean is a friend and his service is unmatched. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hey Jim! Welcome! I've never been to Cherry Ridge, but I've been meaning to join. Maybe after I finally get around to it, I'll meet you there! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Wow! What a great review! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself and I KNEW you'd love the course! Does that mean you'll be joining me for the CNJFO event on the 25th??? And you are certainly right, it's absolutely breathtaking in the fall! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

www.cnjfo.com/events Wednesday July 25th, Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

It's a beginner's event for new shooters, nothing serious and it's a great introduction to clays if you're looking for some mentoring as far as getting into the sport is concerned. Keep it in mind. Reach out to me if you'd like details! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Not much going on for me as far as shooting, next event I'm attending is probably an open clays tournament on July 25th. There's still spots open if you like shotguns. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Walk in to your local shop. That's what your FID card is good for. They will still need to process your NICS check. Depending on how backed up wait times are you may have to wait minutes, hours, next day. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hi! Welcome! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I'm guessing it's on a Wednesday because it's busy season for LVSC. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Great advice! CNJFO is having a clay shoot at Lehigh on July 25. Details at cnjfo.com/events. I'll be there. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hey! Welcome! I'm in North Jersey as well! Feel free to post any questions you might have. Not all of us were fortunate enough to grow up with firearms. I got a late start to shooting sports too. My first suggestion would be to pick up a copy of Evan Nappen's NJ Gun Law book. This is a tricky state to exercise your rights in. Best wishes! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I think they mean targetsportsusa.com free shipping, located in Connecticut. Saving on shipping usually makes their prices cheaper than other spots. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I order by the case pretty regularly. Either Target Sports USA or Lucky Gunner. On both sites, I uploaded a copy of my FID. I haven't had any issues with delivery. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
