I shot a Remington 1100 for several years before getting a BT-99. Never had any issues with target loads with the gun. Kept if for backup and for guests to shoot.

I worked at Roberts' Shooting Park (Elkhorn NE) in the late 60's. Skeet and trap. 5 ranges. Made $1.50/hr. and loved every minute of it. As an aside, the site is now a community college. My, have times changed! I had an 870 12 ga. 26" IC VR that was very fine for skeet. It had a very high drop at the stock and was a pleasure to shoot as I could see the entire top of the barrel rib. Bought it as a kid with my Dad doing the particulars in 1969 for $110. I was not into trap. To me it was boring because the gun moved very little. Skeet was very challenging, but it helped a bunch when it came to putting birds in the freezer. I once hit a rooster pheasant at 65 paces using my Dad' 16 ga. Winchester Model 12 full choke. It was a station 4 low house shot with a large lead. As a skeet guy, you might understand. Thank you for you post, sir. Jim
