rookie shotgunner
i am a rookie when it comes to shotguns and not afraid to admit it. i will be hunting upland game shortly and would like advice on two fronts. how does one choose a shotgun? its not like anything else where you can test drive a car, take a bicycle for a spin or the like. and i assume it is a personal fit that one is after. i am leaning towards a 20 gauge over under for safety and simplicity. can a person go to a skeet or trap range and try guns kept at the club? also is there anywhere a person can get instruction? to prevent bad shooting habits before they begin? not new to shooting but so far the vast majority has been with a rifle. i am skeptical about going into a gun shop to ask for advice. their best interest is selling me a gun,regardless of whether it is the right fit for me.
