Wow, this forum is very responsive thank you all very much for the help.

I will definitely call the skeet range that I live next to and ask which rounds they require. I wonder if they do training at that location as well... i'll ask.

I've heard from a lot of people not to get a pistol grip, and honestly, I don't want one. Out of curiosity though, does having a pistol grip usually absorb the kick of the shotgun?

I'm also assuming that the shooting ranges require that I have eye protection as well as ear buds?

Thanks for that info Noyes, im sure those charts will come in handy when I start getting into it further down the line.

Also, if any of you guys have shotguns, please feel free to post on this thread and share pictures, I would like to see them.
