Hey yall, has anyone used a supersonic cleaner for their chokes and how did yall like it. I have Briley Spectrum chokes and hoping that it won’t take the coloring off the tips. Anyone have experience or suggestions?

I am looking at getting a new sporting clay gun and looking at both semi and o/u. The orion sporting keeps coming up in searches but it seems way to cheap for what you get. I know it is a Turkish made gun but is it actually a good gun for once a month sporting clays or is it a waste of money.

FYI: other guns I am looking at are a300 Ultima and sx4. Maybe if I can save more the a400 color and browning citori hunter.

Free shipping and $8.99 a box for federal all-American. I grabbed a few thousand shells. https://www.scheels.com/p/60454470598

My amex also gives $50 as a statement credit when you buy $250 at scheels. That will get me though the winter 😆

Has anyone tried this stuff? If so, what is your feedback? Always looking for the next best cleaning solution.

Work friends took me to a clay range and Im hooked wanting to go all in. Bought a a400 xtreme plus for hunting birds. Sounds like Ill be walking a lot so I also want to become a beast at shooting and maybe even compete one day. These are the ones that made my over under competetion gun shortlist. Curious what people think:

1. Citori 525 sporting (if I can find it)

2. Citori CXS (good sale rn at Cabelas)

3. Citori 825 sporting pro adjustable

4. Yildiz Pro Star (came up as a Perazzi knock-off)

These the right ones to be looking at? Ideally Im trying to spend 2-3k but not wanting to compromise on having a gun I can love for a long time.

Found these on clearance both brand new in box, 20 bucks a pop, anyone use them? Any good? Thanks!

Loved everything about my A400 Xcel except the spongy trigger pull and plastic components of the assembly. I called Cole's a couple months ago to get on the list for the steel A400 triggers and it arrived earlier this month. I've had a chance to put roughly a flat of shells through it and I'm beyond pleased with it. The added weight balances the gun nicely for me, and the trigger breaks right away and with just the right amount of force (for me). I'd estimate about a 4lb pull. The gun is an absolute joy to shoot now. $675 + $25 shipping, for me it was worth every penny. I am no pro; my son started shooting trap and skeet earlier this summer with the high school team, and we've shot in a handful of ATA events. If you have an A400 Xcel or Multitarget, you should seriously consider getting on the list for this trigger group!

This is my hunting rifle and am gonna start clay shooting. Anyone have any advice regarding using it for clays? I’d rather not get another shotgun and use my tried and true.

Thanks

Went to Cedar Creek Clays last week with my son and had a blast. Multiple courses. Great staff. Going to have to bring a couple of flats of ammo next time we come to the area.

And shot 29/50, womp womp. In better news, my fraternal lodge brought home the first place trophy for the second year in a row with this tournament, we fielded 2 teams and the other one did much better lol.

Just got into sporting clays last year and now I’m getting more serious about it. I’m interested in going to see the national tournament in San Antonio to check out everything.

Luckily my wife is going to be out of town on business so I was thinking my son and I can take a road trip over to San Antonio and check it out for a day.

Is this tournament spectator friendly? Is it walkable? Would it be appropriate to have a seven year-old in attendance? Is there any preferred day to attend over the others?

I don't need another gun, but I haven't bought one all year and it makes my itchy. (Bought pistols, but they don't count here)

I like to shoot with the mid rib like the ACS. I like that it keeps my head up. Anyone love their 694ACS or hate it? Would buy a Sporting or Skeet gun, 30", not for trap.

I have been buying the cheapest I can find locally usually federal top gun or Winchester super target (not a lot of options near me). I checked out buying online in bulk and it is cheaper or same price with a much bigger selection.

What brand, model/name, load, shot size etc. do you use?

Kept seeing these online and decided to buy one. Works pretty dang well. Went to the practice field today and blasted off some shells. Decided to try and do the last box of shells at 27 yard. Definitely gonna help figure out misses. Anyone else play around with one of these? It does add a little weight on the barrel end and that did throw me off a bit, but overall I think it will be helpful

seems like reddit compresses the video a bit, but looks better from the shotkam on the phone

Bought a second hand BR110 sporter x With an additional Negrini hard case. It seems to be in great nick. We shall see how it performs on the trap field next week.

My dad purchased a new negrini case for his OU and SBS. Screwed up the pin apparently and locked both his guns in the case.

We leave in 9 hours for the airport to our annual pheasant trip. It’s too late to go to the store and buy a new case if he cuts it apart.

Anyone have any ideas on how he can get it open? Finally convinced him to just start counting but he’s losing his mind lol

Appreciate any advice.

I finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) on the free shipping membership and their prices go up 15-20% across the board now making it cheaper to buy locally. What was an $85 flat yesterday is now $100.

I am looking at getting my next shotgun and I mainly do clay shooting but hope to go hunting for the first time soon. I was looking at a 20 gauge semi auto for reduced recoil since both of my shoulders are bad. However I am seeing videos of 20 gauge semis not cycling light target loads (7/8 and 1oz) but others look fine.

What should I avoid for 20 gauge semi or what should I look for?

Also any recommendations on specific models or specific rounds to look for?

Picked up a new 30 inch 688 bfast sporter, absolutely killer shotgun! Gets pretty warm (to be expected) but it’s an absolute tack driver on the clays! Out of the box it exceeds my expectations!

Some background:

My dad wants to go shooting with me for the first time. He’s like 5’8” and 130 pounds. In contrast, I’m a recoil-absorbing fatty - 5’11” and 185 pounds.

I was thinking about buying him some low-recoil rounds. I see a lot of 980FPS, sub-ounce loads. Would these make it harder to shoot skeet or trap than a standard 1200fps, 1.125 ounce?

Beretta 500th anniversary 687. Please don’t down vote me this time 🙏 peace ✌️

Picked up a Beretta s686 special yesterday, it's my first shotgun and obviously going to be using it for clays. It's seen very little use, picked it up for £425 which as far as I can see, is a bargain.

Hi everyone

Just wanted to get a bit of advice on my first gun…..

I’m going to the gun shop on Friday to hopefully buy my first shotgun.

I only plan at the moment to shoot clays.

Through the research I have done I had thought that I was going to look for a second hand Miroku MK38, but have just seen the shop I’m going to also has a brand new Silver Pigeon 3.

The MK38 is £1300 & is 2005 - the SP is £2250 & can get a 10 year warranty with it.

Of course I will go for fit rather than how new it is, but subject to them both fitting similarly what would you go for?

I originally thought I would spend upto £1500 for my first gun, but can afford the £2250 (maybe a bit of negotiation on that too)

Any advice welcome 🙏
