Thanks for the notes, I wish I could read my handwriting better but I'm pretty sure it WASN'T a Charles Daly!

The Mossberg is head of the line for the moment, although I've decided to hold out until the Spring Grand comes here to Phoenix with all the associated vendors a week from Monday.

C'mon down, it should be a great shoot from what I understand.

Well you guys said that if I bought an 870 for all around use, you would not get snobby when I showed up with my plastic 28" black pump. I have trap shot 3 boxes to date with a modified choke and have broke 30 total (or so) (ouch). I have never shot the gun at a non moving target and have no idea where it its, I have never had a lesson (really, 30/75, we thought you are a teacher). I still love it though.

It feels great when the clay disappears into an orange dust cloud. It feels lousy when a small piece breaks off and the path is diverted a tiny bit.

Hube, glad you've having fun. I suggest getting a lesson or two from someone that knows both wingshooting/shotguns and how to teach same. Not all good shots know WHY they're good.

BTW, have you patterned that fine, outstanding shotgun? Once you know that it's shooting where you're looking, more clays explode and morale improves(G)....
