Not having shot a shotgun and not hardly ever seen skeet and trap being shot I got invited to a trap and skeet shooting event. What kind of shotgun does one use for this? I was told to bring shells with steel shot too.
I assume I do not need the $2,500 Browning Citori! :-)
It sounds like you don't have a shotgun, so borrowing one or renting would be a great idea and then maybe you'll know if you want to buy one after. I've got a nice over and under and I've shot everything up to a $20k+ pairs of Berettas and Holland and Hollands. Anymore I pretty much shoot everything with the same shotgun I hunt with. I know this isn't 100% true but to me it's more of an indian not the arrow thing. I've seen a good shooter with a $1200 shotgun smoke guys with Perrazis and other really expensive shotguns that cost 5 and 6 times that much.

I had a friend take me to a sporting clays course a few years ago and I got me hooked! I knew I would never be doing any shooting competitively and wanted a good semi-auto that would serve me well I all shooting sports. I ended up buying a Beretta A300 and am still pleased with my purchase to this day. I typically shooting skeet and trap at Atterbury and the interchangeable chokes tubes allow me to easily switch between both.
Are there any places close to us to shoot Trap? Or Sporting Clays?
