I'm looking for a starter gun for skeet and trap shooting. I would appreciate any advice from your experience. Price wise I don't want to break the bank but I also don't want a gun that will come apart after a few hundred rounds.

I have a Model 12 Winchester 16 gauge that belonged to my dad. I not sure how old it is but I know it is older than me and I'm 64. The problem is finding 16 gauge shells; they are not very available and sometimes pricey. Also I don't think I want to take a chance with something happening to the gun.

Thanks for any help,
Jim
