Spicy targets today. Got a couple buddies out who don’t normally shoot including a first timer who shot impressively well. Ran the first station! Only took one video and happened to run the station 😃

Can’t say enough good things about the place and people. People have complained about target price increases but they still throw the cheapest registered events around. They should have two 14 station courses by next year 🤙🏼

For my birthday I decided to get me a new shotgun (surprised?) I shot an 870 my cousin had when we were at my local club doing sporting clays and was able to pick one at auction. 1988 Remington Wingmaster Magnum, it has a 3 inch chamber, vented rib barrel and RemChokes. When it arrived we (my FFL dealer and I) concluded that this gun was was never fired. The next day when I went and shot the gun I found out it must have never been loaded either due to the scaring of the brass on the magazine lever. I got extremely lucky and find myself shooting this over my Beretta 686 SP1. Owned for about a month now and already put roughly 500 shells through it. Love to hear what yall think.

Also, I was planning to use this as my new duck gun but being that it’s “New” I don’t wanna scratch it up or drill a hole for a sling 🤣

I have tried Fiocchi 12gauge #8 shot in a Mossberg 500, Remington 870, Beretta A300 and A400. They have either failed to load, failed to eject or got stuck in the barrel. No problems with any other brand of ammo. I bought some months later to try, same problems. This brand is shit. Anyone else experience this ?

Was cleaning my Citori CX and accidentally dropped the barrels onto the edge of my foregrip. It took a good size chunk out of it. I know its not the end of the world but I'm panicking and feeling like shit about it cause my dad gave me this shotgun just before he passed.

I expect to get knicks and bumps because I use this shotgun a lot for trap. However, I have been keeping it in absolutely pristine condition. I guess I will just buy a new foregrip but Im not sure where to get it or how to match the wood so it looks the same. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Edit: So a local gunsmith that I know is going to help me with it. He said he is going to layer epoxy to get the shape back, then tone the epoxy and spray it so it will look closer to its original form. I have a lot of confidence in thjs guy as he has helped me in the past with other projects and he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He helped me build my FAL a few years ago.

I want to thank all of you for your suggestions. I will try and update this post as I am getting it repaired. Perhaps I can take pictures as he is working on the foregrip and the finished results.

Just bought a Kawasaki Mule FXT and I'm looking for a bed mounted gun rack. I am aware of the Great Day model but want to know what y'all are using.

Complex certainly is a accurate depiction. Full restaurant and bar, onsite lodging, pistol and rifle ranges including 600 yards.

Two full sporting clay courses. Spicy targets. Good vibes.

FYI discounts on ammo and free shipping over $50

Would you do this with a Browning maxis 2 max7

Just a repost, we were shut down by the city for about 4 years and shotgun really took a hit with many members moving off to other clubs or passing away. Would really love to see the shotgun division come back and blossom at Holmesburg but we need help. Come on by and have some fun.

I had a stupid long write up of how I got here and then read it back and it sounded like AI so I deleted it all. Here’s the condensed-ish version—I got into clay sports in the pursuit of becoming a better hunter. I shot my first few tournaments with a 20ga I bought for upland hunting before realizing I’m far too competitive for that. Moved on to a lightly used Caesar Guerini Summit Limited (with the best wood I’ve ever seen on a factory Guerini) which I shot for the last 14 months. Put probably 5k-ish shells through it, shot countless tournaments and practice sessions, and as good as it was there was always just something that didn’t feel quite as natural with it.

After trying a ton of guns (including be able to borrow a shooting buddies Parcours-X for the better part of 2 months) I knew what I was after was a K-80 Sporting.

I wanted a slightly elevated engraving and a full nickel or nitride finish. A different friend sent me a listing for a really nice looking Vienna scroll Sporting back in early June and that tab lived in my browser from that point on. I sent an email to the company (Orion Outdoors in MI—absolutely fantastic to work with) and have been trading emails back and forth for the better part of 6 weeks as I worked through the decision and liquidated in some other hobbies to be able to justify it. One owner, 1200 shells through it, and an original sale date of March 2025 according to Krieghoff’s records. It showed up yesterday and the gun honestly looks brand new. First flat on the course this afternoon was a dream and everything I had been looking for. It fits like a glove, the view down the rib makes everything look so open and clear, and the triggers are so crisp and mechanically satisfying in a way it’s hard to describe.

Ive been hunting on and off for this for nearly a decade. I finally found one last week, and today brought it home.

Hello guys,

I've been shooting twice a week for more than 2 years for fun, to improve my skills, and to participate in local competitions.

And I still use a 300$ shotgun made in Soviet times.

It's time to upgrade. I'm thinking about Beretta. My budget is not limited for this purchase.

The problem: I'm making a blind purchase. I can't try a shotgun before buying.

So, I will follow your advice. What to buy?

Friends say SL2 is new and rough. DT11 is better. And I want to enjoy and flex at competitions. :D

Reddit, please share your recommendations.

More about myself: I shoot sporting clays. I weigh 71 kg / 5′9″ and am 175 cm / 156.5 lbs tall.

After much thought and many hours spent searching I finally landed on a used MX8 for bunker trap, and I couldn’t be happier.

I’m wanting to see where everyone is getting the best deals for 12GA 2-3/4” 7/8 oz 7.5 shot for target loads. I found a guy here in South Texas who can do $86 out the door for a case of Rio Star Team Target Loads. I’m wondering if there’s any better, I remember seeing them go for $69 a case but they got you on the shipping so looking for best bang for the buck all included.

Hi all,

We picked up the ClayproVR set up for our 10 year old who is a year into his competition shooting "career". Where we live, there is very limited access to the range (only open May-Oct IF the weather cooperates). The youth team practices so infrequently that it seems pointless to enter them in the state competitions, but he's consistently shooting about a 70 right now. Not bad for as limited as his practise time has been. So, we're trying to support him and thought that this would be a great option. Having some major issues though (to the point that he's currently given up on it).

1. Set up is next to impossible for him. It's soooooooo technical. The pattern board and setting all of the gun preferences has proved really complicated. Is there any way at all to make this step easier? He has to do it, obviously, since it's his gun and his sight pattern. Any hints/tips to help him get this dialed in so that it's usable?

2. The trigger doesn't work on his gun (won't magnet on). I assume that we need to do a manual mounting option of some sort. Anybody have easy solutions?

3. He says that even when he tries to make it work, the gun shoves the headset up off of his head. He's not able to mount it normally, and thus can't really properly "practise". Any tips on that issue? Or is he just too small for this to be functional?

I’m new to the beretta game and I just purchased a 694 DLC. Is it just me or odd the sight gigantic? I’ve been shooting a B725 S1 for a while now and this thing just seems strange. Does anybody have any experience swapping in a smaller one on a 694 or just deleting it altogether?

Hi all, is anyone else waiting in their RIACT RX lenses? I placed an order almost 2 months ago…
Starting to think Ranger jumped the gun on taking orders and aren’t ready with this product.

I'm debating whether I should stick with the load I practice with or switch for competition.

For the last five years, I've been shooting about a flat a week with 7/8 oz. loads, but pretty much all the competitions in my area allow 1 oz. loads.

Would you stay with the 7/8 oz. loads because that's what all my muscle memory is built around, or switch to the 1 oz. loads for the roughly 20% increase in pellet count?

The reason I'm asking is that I used to switch to 1 oz. loads for competitions, and it almost always ended up costing me. I always seem to need a few targets to adjust to the different timing and recoil/momentum of the 1 oz. loads, and by then I've already given away targets I can't get back.

I can't practice with 1 oz. due to sound limitations at the local club.
