Consistency, consistency, consistency Consistency is very important when shooting. It is more important when consistently doing things correctly - body posture, gun mount, etc. Most people do as I did back in the 1950s when I began shooting - buy gun, buy shells, find targets, shoot. That is...

Information is available There are two books that, in my opinion, all newer shooters would benefit from reading. One is by Dick Bennett and is an excellent primer on trap shooting. It is available from Shotgun Sports Magazine and is titled, "Trap Shooting is a Game of Opposites. See the...

870s - Great for 'some' shooters You have heard form shooters who like 870s and they are good guns, mechanically. What isn't so good for some shooters is the way they fit. Gun fit describes the way the five primary stock dimensions (length of pull, drops at the comb and heel, cast and pitch)...
