I bought my first gun on Friday. A Remington 870 Express Youth in 20 guage.(pictures below ) I got to try it out for the first time yesterday when Only1asterisk his wife and myself went to a local clays range.
We were there for 2 hours and shot through 4 boxes of shells and started on a fifth. A couple of range regulars gave us some tips and it was a lot of fun. It was a clear beautiful sunny day. The temp was about 30 degrees and there was a slight breeze but still a beautiful day to break plates
They set the machine to throw straight archs rather than for wobble out of defference to my inexperience. I only hit about 10 of the 40 clays that were thrown for me. But I hit six in a row at one point near the end. I didn't try any Report sets, only single plates since it was my first time. I can't wait untill next week when I get to go to the PGC Trap and Skeet Center and shoot with Dave McCracken.
I borrowed a friends digital camera fo rthe trip. Here are some pictures:
First my new baby:
Wasn't it a gorgeous day?
Here is one of me in the stand
Those are realy the only ones I have. 1* and his wife were camera shy. Hope this was an adequate range report...Let me know if i left out any details you'd like.
