OK, Justin we can disagree. I still like you(G)...

Good point about Joe Average,10 years of instruction left me with plenty of horror stories. However, there's plenty of competent shotgunners out there.

And, most folks,even past tyro status, could use some lessons. I'll never be a great wing shot on my own.Until I get expert instruction, I doubt I'll ever improve significantly. On sporting clays ranges, folks with Perazzis don't point at me and snicker, but that's because I'm big and armed(G).

As for what semi trained folks will do in combat,I've some experience there. Many of the ones you'd think would not be effective, are, and vice versa.

And serious types may want all the goodies on their 870s,doesn't Itzhak Perlman play a real Stradivarius?

Finally, I'm not crazy about letting my E address out publicly. Had to deal with an Animal Rights psycho some time ago.

Shok, glad you found the shotgun of your dreams.Good luck and good hunting..
