Where do you live? Can you borrow or rent some of the different guns?

Rastoff, Thank you for the most generous offer; however I will respectfully decline as I have a Wild Hare product order in the ready after product confirmation Monday morning. Supposedly the Wild Hare “Deluxe Shot shell Pouch” was recently remodeled adding a covered accessory area and a D ring; so I am going to call first to make sure exactly what I am getting. It does have elastic shell loops but they look to be smartly positioned so your...

I have Kick-EEZ pads on most of my gun. When it time to replace a pad it aways been a Kick-EEZ. I with Rastoff the Kick-EEZ has the right amount of firmness need to control the gun mount.

If you have no desire to shoot trap don't even start there. While all targets are good to practice with. The trap targets will be the least help with sporting clays. I shoot alot of trap and this is my opinion. This past season I got away from it a good bit. Shoot alot of skeet, wobble, 5-stand and sporting clays. The best decission I've made in a while. Put the fun back into shooting. I own quite a few shotguns but I've been...

The ban that they had was all inclusive and I hear they are dragging their feet in order to impede ownership of anything. So glad to be away from that area. You shoot at...

YOUR gun speed plays a huge role in what you "see" as the proper lead. Gun speed shouldn't matter with constant leads. Granted you have to be able to shoot swing thru for hunting and the occasional skeet which gets past you... Nonetheless skeet competition experts...

Call the Minneapolis Gun Club in Prior Lake and ask for Mike Lohman. He charges $50 an hour for groups. And he's very personable and a talker, which can be good for women who need lots of verbal instruction - unlike most of us "monkey see monkey do" cavemen.

Thanks for the responses, there's alot to consider, I'm going to try to get to the range Thurs. or Fri., weather permitting they are calling for alot of wind, don't know what guns they have to rent, but I'll start trying out whatever is available. I don't know why but I never even considered an auto (I like single action handguns, lever rifles, walnut & steel, must have watched too many cowboy shows as a kid) ,...

tigmaned wrote: to open a choke will start looking like a dounut with not much shot in the center. I don't agree w/this. In my patterning experience when you start shooting a choke at ranges that are too far for it you get a pattern that has a hot center and very loose around that. Although not really very "hot", the center of the pattern will have enough density to break targets and the edges will have very little...
