On Thursday or Friday I am going to go up to Gander Mtn. to get my first shotgun. I got a $250 gift card there so that is why I am going there. This will be my first gun that I have ever owned. What I am wondering is what are some must have items to get with it. I am getting the Reminton 870 12 ga. combo set.

Also I want to set up targets for practice. I think I am goin to get the paper ones and just set them up against some straw bails that we have in the barn. What I am wondering what are some of the best slugs to get for target practice? I know that can get expesive quick doing some target shooting.

I just want to make sure I do this right. And do not mess up something because of something little that I forgot.

Thanks for your help.
