    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    Thats a great thing if you can rent one to try it out. By me I know indoor ranges have pistols you can rent but don’t have anywhere for clays. Thank you for mentioning the small if any difference between the 12 and 20 ga for my purpose. This may help or create more of a head ache because now I...

    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    Great advice and sorry about your day. Right now I’m stuck on a shift that has terrible hours but a first shift should be available soon. When I get a chance to work days for a week I try to shoot pistol tuesdays and thursdays. Maybe clays will be once a week. But I don’t want to upgrade my...

    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    Impressive numbers calculon! I thought under a grand is a good price with something used and hopefully comfortable to shoot all day. 3 gun might also be in my near future.

    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    A fiend of mine is just starting also, so I haven’t tried his new shotgun or shot at a club, however a couple years ago at a 3D shoot for bow there was a setup for clays and I tried a few rounds with a 12 gauge pump. I did enjoy it and even hit a few but the interest was bow. Now talk of clays...

    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    That’s awesome, as mentioned before any pointers and tips are very helpful. Currently don’t own any shotguns. The one I am looking at is more of a comfort thing vrs a fancy thing lol. But now I will have to put tape on it so I don’t look so bad lol.

    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    My buddy picked up the Barretta a400 for like $900 new wich was a smoking deal. It has the recoil system so little to no kick. For that price I thought I couldn’t go wrong lol. As far as ammo, I get my ammo online. For shooting trap, I am assuming it’s like $5 a box of 25 locally. So not gonna...

    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    I’m thinking of bolt action, I believe it will be more accurate than a semi auto and doesn’t have to be NY compliant. Not sure on brand yet or tactical or not. Hoping for a smoking deal and that will be what I get as long as reviews are descent.

    Looking to get my first 12 gauge for trap and such

    Very good point GTN, I think what really has me sold on the beretta is the soft recoil system. But still need to see how it fits me

    I have this friend at work that likes to shoot, So after hearing a few stories and peaking an interest. I have decided its time to look at possibly 2 rifles or I rifle and 1 shotgun. I currently am into pistols and started USPSA and believe the other seems to be IDPA but this seems to be a solo...

    South buffalo outdoor shooting

    That sounds like a great story "holdover" about sharing and a lucky story about your friend surviving something that could of ended up very tragic! Sharing a spot I think is great as long as rifles with rifles and pistols with pistols. Even if both have both. Mixed long and short range together...

    South buffalo outdoor shooting

    You got that right, if you have to own a permit for a handgun the state should provide areas to shoot.

    South buffalo outdoor shooting

    Wow , that's horrible. I thought for sure on a shitty wet day it would of been ok. How about 10 am on the week day. I work a second shift and didn't know if 12pm was just the norm or neighbors gonna flip out, or maybe it's enforced. Looks like a local club or maybe buy a small chunk of land...

    South buffalo outdoor shooting

    So I finished making my steel target setup last week and wanted to try it out but living in the city it's not recommended to do so in my backyard lol. The closest place I could think of to shoot was the Alabama swamps which is a little bit of a drive for me. Loaded up the gear and headed out...

    Looking for competition pistol

    Very good read, and I was taking it slow as to looking for something that just touches the performance level. I'm sure most handguns out there are more accurate than I am. But looking to justify another gun lol. There are so many options out pertaining to classes, divisions and pistols. Looking...

    Looking for competition pistol

    I see a lot of glocks in comps and the majority praises them, I know there are a lot of aftermarket parts too. Looks like I might have to consider Glock. So far I dropped the walther, and the M&P. Put the CZ back on the list with Glock. Maybe the gen5 will get my hand better placement on the mag...

    Looking for competition pistol

    Those are a lot of things I didn't even think about lol. Shame about the Walther but this is why I like doing forums you get a lot of useful info. IDPA I thought would be just like USPSA except for a cover garment but didn't look any further into it. I saw a few open guns and at this point and...

    Looking for competition pistol

    Bullet Guy, I was looking for something different, thats all. My G19 has never let me down. If a G34 is comfortable maybe that would have to be thrown on the list. My G19 is a 3rd gen and now up to Gen 5?
