Embarrassed myself yesterday

[Justincase]

At the weekly steel shoot yesterday, it was a shotgun + pistol course. To start the course, you had to shoot 5 steel targets that were about 15 feet away from a chair that you were sitting in (awkward). Shouldn't have been too difficult. Then you get out of the chair, reload 5 more rounds and hit some clay targets about 50 feet out. It took me 5 rounds to knock down the first two steel targets. Ugh. The far clay targets only took me 5 rounds, go figure. Was using my winchester sxp 12ga pump. It's just too big for me. It felt so unwieldy. Definitely need to get a shorter LOP shotgun in 20ga. Any recommendations? Pump or semi auto would be considered.

If you like it otherwise, either cut down or replace the stock.

Get a youth stocked 870 tactical 20 gauge.

Haven't seen that. I was considering the Mossberg Bantam 500 tactical. Thanks. I'll take a look.

Get a shorter stock and practice from the seated position.

20 gauge youth I bought for the wife and kids,, I like it so much I'm buying another ( non-youth ) at some point for myself. they also have a model that comes with two stocks so you can change them out..

I may. I bought it for deer season this year. I'll have to check around to see who does this stuff around me.

I LIKE that. Didn't know Tristar made a youth gun. Thanks!
