My hart feels for this young guy that just went out and bought a shotgun Chances are he went into a store and they just sold him one that fit his budget.

While our club does not allow non members to shoot
skeet as regular members, we do allow people to come
out and try skeet as our guest if they contact myself, or
our treasurer. You can't just show up at the range without contacting us, as we have an electronic gate, and have to let you in. We don't have rental shotguns, but we can usually arrange to have a shotgun available. Just don't refer to the clay targets as skeets, and you will fit in.
As for our new shooter, he is a university student that went online and searched reviews for shotguns, but he had no idea of gun fit, or the difference between a hunting shotgun or a clays shotgun. And that is why, when someone approaches me about trying skeet, I advise them to come out and try skeet, before they purchase a special shotgun.
