I being a novice and not as well heeled as he is am not going to spend anything close to that money.
I've looked at perhaps ten O/S's over that last several days and keep coming back to the Yadiz O/U's. At 600.00 they appeY capable.
What am I not seeing?
I'd look used first off. I started with an 870 that I bought a Hastings barrel for and then bought a used Browning Gold Sporting Clay at the LGS.
You might want to think about taking a class or checking to see how your skeet range operates. Here is why I say this - I had just started shooting skeet in 2007, I was shooting 100 shells (versus rounds of skeet) two or three times a week. Then I had an accident which laid me up for a year, and it was just recently that I got interested again. A couple rounds and I've pretty much lost interest for the time being.
Why? Because I need to shoot reps on each station instead of shooting a round. If I want to shoot 25 reps of singles at station one, then repeat shooting 12 reps of singles, I should be able to do so. That ingrains what I need to see, it is the way I learn. Unfortunately, my club has pretty strict rules and such heresy is not tolerated. This has cooled my drive.
I'm planning on going to OSP in Houston this November to see what they can help me do.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
