[QUOTE="Droff, post: 2377376, member: 26615"] ProBusiness, that's a lot of information to chew on, with a lot of things to consider. One thing I will say, I don't foresee me being anything close to a serious skeet/trap shooter anytime in the near future, as in out on the range every weekend, who knows down the road, but right now I don't have time for that or really the desire. I plan on shooting when I can and being competent enough when I shoot that I don't draw any excessive stares or finger pointing. My guess is my son and wife will also be shooting whatever shotgun I go with, both have shot my 870, as well as an 1100 (me too). My 870 has no chokes, not sure if the 1100 did or did not at the time. Most of my very limited skeet shooting experience has been with an 1100 and that was years ago, my folks were caretakers on a private club that had a skeet range and we visited once a year (North Carolina). Some members there had guns in the $5K range but were also doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc. I have little to no experience with trap, never really shot a round of it. I plan on having a good time when I go out shooting with either my friends or my family. If I get into a shooting competition at the range and break 35-40/50, come in last but had a good time, it's not going to break my heart. I might be wrong but I think the more you shoot, the better you get, regardless of equipment but at some point, you're equipment will limit your progress. I'm not sure I'll ever get to that point or at least to the point that it will bother me. My guess at best is I'll average a round or two once a month, maybe a couple hundred rounds a month if my wife wants to shoot as well. I like 1100's, no problem with them at all, my oldest has a semi-auto, I'm just not sure if it's a Beretta or Browning. I've shot it and like it but he lives in BA so I can't get a hold of it often enough to borrow. I'm not sure how to look for a shotgun that "fits" me, any pointers other than holding them in my hand and shooting if possible? I just didn't think it was that big of a deal, it's a shotgun. I know some are better than others and I know more of the major names used for skeet/trap, but like you state, they're more money - which typically results in a better gun in the long run. Thanks for all the info, more to think about. [/QUOTE]
