learn something new everyday.

I have a sigma smith-wesson 9mm. Same gun. The trigger in the safety. (center tab) Got it. Not dumb. I was I was talking about duncans post about the glock not having a "real safety". Go head read it for yourself. Go on. Read it.

Isn't a full choke with a slug the same as a full choke with steel shot? (To tight for the little hole.) I thought a slug with I full choke would mess up the choke and or the barrel. Novaking

Sorry Rob, I forgot. Welcome aboard. Novaking

F-16. That all you texans have!! I thought my state was boring. At least in Illinois , Lincoln lived here.

That kinda looks like a not so very nice earplug.

I'm not a big glock fan because your holding a single action gun with "no real safety". That is why I like wheel guns. The safety is the tigger. The round will not go off if your finger is not on the trigger. Plus, I like the longer trigger pull, gives you a little more time to think. Novaking

I can't even find those in Illinois anymore. Walmart use to have them. They were cheap and they broke the back yard thrown clay or downed dove all day long. Novaking

I know. All the "big shooters'' at my range shoot ATA to. I don't know why they shoot 6's when they practice. Novaking

SAFETYS ARE MADE FOR A REASON. IF YOU CAN'T TURN THE SAFETY OFF AT ANY TIME BEFORE YOU SHOOT, YOU SHOULDN'T OWN A GUN. There is a reason why they put a safety on the seat of a riding lawnmover. YOU DISCONNECTED YOURS DIDN'T YOU. Sorry, I'm a firm believer in having your safety on until your ready to fire. It's the same thing as don't point a gun at someone or something unless your planing on shooting it. That is how people get hurt. Then its the guns fault. I know in all the time you have had on this earth you have had a problem or mishap. (or you would have the safety on.) It doesn't mean you won't have a problem later. I say all in the tube, none in the chamber,safety on is the way to go. If your someone in my house and you here the racking a round in the chamber, you will think twice before coming up my stairs. The biggest thing in HD or any thing, is practice. The miltary practice over and over and over. Why are world class shooters so good. Practice. You need to practice HD many times. Have a game plan, what are going to do. KNOW YOUR GUN!!! Know how to run your gun in and out. What if it jams. Bad primer. Bolt didn't close. WHERE IS THE SAFETY!! HOW DOES THE SAFETY WORK. Don't use the (I'm nervous) as a accuse. Don't get me wrong. Is is not a personal attack. The safety thing was my first rule to follow and safely should be on everyones minds when it comes to gun. The good people (gun owners) don't need anything else taken away from us and we don't need to give the goverment an accuse to try to take more away. Novaking

I haven't done the math. I thought it was amost twice the pellets from 7 1/2 to 9's. I figured at the skeet range, 9's or 10's would break targets just as easy as 7 1/2's. I will take all the help I can get. Novaking

Yeah, all the ''big'' shooters there shoot 6's back there. They even tell you to shoot 6's. P.S. I live I ILLINOIS. range in the middle, corn fields all around. Novaking

what ammo to you use? Novaking

Hahahaha. I always ask a new dove hunter. How many doves did you hit and how many shells did you shoot? novaking

In Illinois, we would get a ticket on having all are dove together like that. That is 2 separate bags, which means can't be together. Sucks right. Got to love IL. nice hunt. Novaking

I only shoot 9's if they are on sale. 2 week ago I found AA 9's for 4.99 a box. Got to buy them. I shoot 8's for clays,skeet, and 16yard trap. 7 1/2's for dove sized game,and trap 20 yards back. 6's for trap @27yards.(not very good there). 5's for turkeys(hevi-shot) and first shot peasants. 4's second shot peasant. Novaking

Splash, Are we going to talk about this again. The full choke in the marlin is not the same full choke in the 870. All chokes are different. My stock full choke for my nova, is way different than the Carlson full choke I use now in my Nova. Same gun. Two different chokes. I bet if I put a 24'' barrel on the same gun and used the same chokes. I wouldn't see that much or no differance. My remington SPR 310 full choke doesn't even measure to a full choke. Really none of the 310 chokes measure right. The IC choke measure out to a Cylinder, Mod. is not even IC. Like I said before, The choke does almost all the work. barrel length doesn't do much. Like Tim said, I haven't seen a waterfowl hunter with a gun over a 28 inch barrel. Maybe one guy uses a 30 inch barrel. I do know a guy that shoots a 32 inch barrel when shooting skeet. But I don't think he is worried about a tight pattern all the way out to 17 yards. My father-inlaw shoots a A-5, 30'',full choke. He wins at the turkey shoots all the time. But so does my cousin. In shoots a 410,26'',full choke. I don't know. I never win. But I'm the only one with real turkeys on my wall. peace, Novaking

nova slug. cutco knife. can't hunt with a rifle in Illinois. spear? novaking

any .223 or 22-250 to the head makes easier cleaning.

Sorry, it was 30 yards away with a 28 gauge http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/12/cheney/ novaking

Why do you shoot 7.5 in skeet? I shoot 9's if I can find them. Novaking

That guy almost died and he was 25 yards away. I think they were shooting quail. I use low power 8 shot. 7/8 or 1 oz. novaking

Do you mean you shoot birds on the gound?

With trap and skeet, my club is strict on keeping the range clean and if your shooting an auto,your picking up hulls all the time. I don't think they make a shell catcher for benelli's yet but a rubberband will work.(big rubberband look bad on the $1600 gun). I would go with a O/U. I shoot a ''flat shooting'' O/U for trap and skeet. This will be the best compromise between the two sports because you won't find a perfect gun for both. I would go with 28'' or 30'' barrels and like tim said "a little heavy" will help you shoot longer. For the price of a supersport. I would look at two guns. FOR TRAP: Browning BPS trap Used BT-99 Supernova w/ high comb FOR SKEET: Bennelli dimond O/U Remington SPR 310 O/U Beretta 390 or 391 These are just a few of many guns I would use. Buying two of these guns will be less or the same as the supersport Two guns will be a only way you can get the best of both worlds. novaking

Nice site. You do your homework and I respect your knowledge and research. I don't know if you have kids or family in your house but I picture my kids head on the back side of that drywall which one doesn't understand until you have kids yourself. From your research I will which to buckshot after my kids are out of the house or maybe my third round I will switch to buck. Novaking
