Well, I bought a Mossberg 500 youth 12 ga this past summer and finally got to take it out. (Having a little 4mo old girl kinda sucks up your time)
Anyway, went to the range to shoot skeet. Great group of guys, one guy actually walked me through the stations. I had my own private round! I shot up maybe 7 the first time through. Watching that first one explode was awesome. Heck, the first shot through the gun was exhilirating. I went through another round and shot up 10-12. I was quite happy with that. I learned a few more tips from some veteran shooters. One guy had a O/U .410. I think he missed one that round. I shot mostly singles till the 2nd to last stand. I hit the first 2 singles so the guy told me to take the next two as a double. Hit the first one, shucked with plenty of time and was in front of the clay coming at me.
Overall, a fantastic experience. My shoulder is a bit sore so I need to work on fitting the gun a bit. Either some spacers or upgrade to the big boy stock which is ok since Mossberg gives you a coupon for that. I learned a lot and have many things to improve upon.
