whatscooking Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yesterday i went with a friend to what i would consider a very well organized shooting range in Batesville Indiana, Tri County Coon Hunters. It was old guy day with 25 or so shooting trap and skeet. Both my friend and i have been practing at my place but no where the level these guys were. I left my gun home and glad i did, my Russian side by side would of looked way out classed.They had their guns all lined up in a rack and i quickly saw these guys were very serious about shooting. I grew up on a large farm so i always had a gun i could go rabbit or occasionally bird hunting with but never had the time or money to really get a nice gun. Fast foward to me now 61 years old retired and the urge is sparking to explore clay busting. I have been researching anything i can find to read. I have found a Super Sport that has the performance shop upgrades for $ 2150.00 that feels like a good fit. Just am curious if i am moving in the right direction?

whatscooking Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I suppose what i am asking is the Super Sport a good all around clay gun. I know it has just as much or more to do with the person squeezing the trigger so i want to get a gun that i can depend on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatscooking Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Have decided to go again with my friend tomorrow as a guest and take along my trusted side by side and see how i do. The way i have practiced at home has been more like skeet shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatscooking Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) So i took my side by side to the club and shot a round of skeet,hit a few but missed alot. I had a bit of information overload which added to the nervousness but i expected that as this was my first trip to a club. What i did do was to look up Buds Gun Store that i have seen discussed and to my surprise it is a hour and half drive to get there. Had to go see of course. I spoke to Jack and warned him i was comming. What a gun store. Jack took extra time with me in the shotgun room to explain fitting a gun and went over alot of other helpful tips, he is a pro shooter. It is like stepping into a toronado when looking at these fine guns. I know most use the over and unders but for some reason i am leaning towards a automatic. I have owned a 870 and a 1100 and liked them. Edited August 18, 2020 by whatscooking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
