You're very welcome, Chris. And thank you, feedback like this is good for warm fuzzies.
A coupla things...
First, mine the Archives for stuff on proper mounting techniques, form and fit. This will pay dividends.
Second, get the lightest loads you can for starters. The cheapo generic loads in something like an oz, 2 3/4 dram equivalent are what you want. Buy ammo, use up, repeat....
As for your purchase, it's not ideal for trap, and at the start you need things busting for the instant gratification that motivates most tyros. However, it's a good choice for skeet or 5 stand.
Do not keep score at first, just FOCUS on busting that clay. After a while, you can score just to measure progress.
Also try the stuff on the thread about HD preparedness for some more practical skills.
Please keep in touch here, I'm interested in how hard it is for someone to get into shotgunning and use the Net as a learning resource from Square One....
