Benelli Nova for trap/skeet

<--- (Coach).....None?

;-)

How about: I cause more problems than the gun does.;-)

I guess it depends if you just want to go out and break some clays, or if you actually want to compete.
.

Or, as I see it, it depends if you want to compete based on your practice and earned skill, or based on the price of your gear.

He's talking about a first shotgun. He's not about to walk from Big 5 onto station 1 of the world championships. If he likes any of these games enough to get specialized gear he'll do so at that time.

In the meantime, he can shoot some clays, he can work with slugs at a range, he can take some classes, and he won't have dropped $2k.

Yeah I have only went clay shooting one time before and used my dad's friends 870 and I remember how excited I got when I hit the clay for first time. The only place that is close to me to shoot clays is a place to shoot and oaktree. I was going to go this weekend with my 887 nitro mag but it broke when I took it my local indoor range to try it out.

I have a 28" Nova that has killed many airborn food sources, and I also have an 18.5" Nova for home defense. I can say that they are very well built, and mine have had virtually no issues, and if they have I cannot remember. Very easy to clean and take apart. Accessories can be somewhat difficult to find, but I managed to find everything I wanted for mine. (Side Saddle shell holder, tube extension, etc) Can't go wrong with a Nova!

Oh, and I also took both of my Nova's skeet/trap shooting last week. The 18.5" was breaking clays just as well if not better than the 28", both without a choke in them, so don't think an 18.5' wont get the job done in that regards.

Exactly, that's why I said, "If you just want to have some fun, buy what you like".

Trap shooter?

[BigFatGuy]

Trap shooter?

Nope. Then I'd be telling him to drop $2k on a shotgun and to get those little sunscreens that hang off his glasses.
