Thanks for all the great replies. I am considering buying a clay thrower and using that to practice with my pump. I can still use my Benelli M1 and M2 for the clay games.

5 stand is much harder. Last weekend, I tried it for the first time. I shot a 22 on skeet. Then, I decided to give it a try. I got a 16. Not that good.

It sounds like there is not a real good solution to this problem. I understand the concerns about not disturbing other shooters. My main concern is that I don't want any clay game to make me less effective as a hunter or in self defense. That means I need to violently, fully work the...

I think I may have not explained it right. Theoretically a person would shoot. Then, while the gun is still mounted and pointing downrange, shuck the action fully. As the person lowers the gun, the action would be opened. I think the answers will still be the same because shucking the gun will...

This is just a question for pump gun shooters. Shooting trap, I see most people, after they make the shot, cycle the action to the rear as they lower their gun ejecting the empty shell. Then, when it is their turn to shoot again, they drop a new shell in the chamber, close the action and shoot...

I handled one on my last skeet outing. I love my 870s. But, I have to admit the Pardner was a smoother action.

I just bought a brand new Benelli M2 American. I have some extra M1S90 chokes. Will they work in an M2 barrel?

Thanks Oneounce. My eyes switch back and forth with both eyes open. With a small piece of tape over the left eye (I'm right handed) of my glasses, this problem completely goes away. In the past, I have kept both eyes open until right before the shot, then I close one eye. I want to...

Has anyone tried using Easy hit to help fix eye dominance problems shooting with both eyes open? How did you like it?

I am curious if any of you shoot multiple type of shotgun actions for different purposes? I have 18" and 28" 870s. The short barrels are for home defense. I have hunted and shot clays with the 28" barreled 870s. But, for skeet and hunting, I was thinking of going to a semiauto. I just shoot...

I am focused completely on the bird or the clay. Let me explain it a different way: Imagine you have mounted your gun pointing at the exact center point of the path that the clay will travel and for this example, the gun will not move. You will not break your cheek weld. If someone were to...

Thanks oldfool. The gun actually fits me. When I shoulder the gun with my eyes close and then open my right eye, I am right on target. The problem is that my eyes do not track with the barrel when the gun is mounted. If I see something off to the side, my eyes will go there independently...

Even with a target focus, I still see two shadowy barrels on stationary objects. Then when a clay bird is thrown, and I look at the target not the barrel, my eyes immediately go to the target. The result being that my eyes are not lined up straight with the barrel of the gun. My eyes are...

I want to learn to shoot shotgun with both eyes open. In the past, I keep both eyes open until I am ready to pull the trigger, then I close one eye. I have tested myself and I am right handed/right eye dominant. I can easily shoot both eyes open with my handgun and my scoped rifle. No...

I went out today and shot skeet. I shot a 18. Not great. But, I don't feel like the Remington 870 held me back. My shooting skills held me back. I just need more time with the gun and practice.

What do you guys think comparing the pump to the semiauto for hunting?

I just bought an 870. I have shot Benellis for the last 20 years. I have taken my 870 out for skeet, sporting clays, and duck hunting. I have found that I am not near as good at hitting pairs in the gun games or multiple birds hunting. The margin in speed between the two guns is substantial...

I have a new 28" 870. I hunt and shoot clay games with it. One problem. I have found that I am slower on the mount than I would like with this gun. I am 5' 9". Because my weak hand is so far extended on the forend to operate the pump, I have to extend my arms to the maximum degree first to...

I look at skeet and trap people as OCD patients who have channeled their disorder in a healthy way. You might be able to win money at trap. But the majority of the super serious types are not financially benefiting from the game. When you count the cost of their guns, ammo, time, and other...

Some of the skeet/trap people remind me of golfers. They take the game WAY to seriously. It is just a game. They seem to have forgot that they are there to have fun. The elitism about which GAME is superior is comical. Personally, I could never do either as a full time hobby. They are...
