we actually shot skeet and trap... he hit two trap and one skeet... i thought that was awesome... i hit 17 trap with it and 10 skeet... it was a good gun... but i learned to shoot skeet (by accident) with a full choke, now i shoot with improved cylindar and shoot better with that... no wonder... i was just happy he hit anything at all and that the gun fit him... not bad for your first time ever shooting a gun!
