Well said. Some of the nicest folks I know shoot with mission specific gamer guns.
I've made no secret that my favorite shotgun sport is Skeet. I've tried them all, and keep coming back to Skeet. In support of the sport, I try to encourage new shooters. At my club we dedicated a field for Skeet introduction. It included such things as hold point references (illegal in tournaments) foot positions painted on the pavement and graphics of the recommended leads at each presentation. These are basics that can be hard to learn if self-taught. I've coached new shooters who catch-on quickly with the single targets, but crash and burn at the double presentations because they're awkward shucking the cob. Rather than learning to pump proficiently or get an O/U or auto, they frequently just give up in frustration. Another potential Skeet enthusiast is lost to poor equipment selection. This is why I discourage pump guns for new shooters.
