I just picked up a 500 Slugster with the 24" smoothbore barrel. I know that I can shoot shot shell through it since it's smootbore, but I was wondering two things:

1) How effective will I be shooting skeet through a 24" smoothbore barrel on the slugster? I'm new to skeet, so I'm not looking for anything amazing, just trying to go out and have some fun with friends. Eventually I'll probably pick up a 28" barrel with accu-set chokes, but I'd like to be able to have some fun shooting skeet with the 24" barrel that come on it before I spend more money.

2) Since it has a smoothbore barrel, what makes it a slugster anyways? The rifle sights?

Thanks
