It's a Mossberg 500 with an 18" barrel so I don't think I'll be doing much skeet shooting unless I decide to break down and get a better barrel that's more suited to it. I wouldn't hesitate to try with what I've got, though :mrgreen:
Tain't the shotgun it's the shooter.
example a: i took my tactical remington 870 to the trap range. 22, 23, 22, 21 (which is better than I normally shoot). (18.5" barrel, extended magazine, cylinder choke, knoxx stock, etc)

example b: Was at the skeet range, shooting with this old guy who was out visiting his son. he borrowed his son's shotgun. a 20ga 870 express, short barrel, plastic stock, etc. We shot 3 rounds together, he never missed one. (turns out he shot a LOT of skeet at home, but still)

We are going to do a sporting clays day early in June.
