Okay, at the risk of making an arse of myself, most of my firearms experience is limited to the tactical side of things with mulsurp and pistol shooting, and I'm quite ignorant about the hunting/competition shooting. But, after being a member for just about a year at my local R&G, I really have an interest in shooting skeet and trap after stopping by to watch on occasion.
I bought a new Remington 870 Express Tactical last year with the 18" cyclinder barrel and extended tube w/ bead sight. I had home defense and job-related target practice in mind at the time, and had no concern then for any additional sporting uses.
After reading other threads, I seem to get the impression that while my current set up certainly isn't preferable, it's borderline acceptable. I'm looking to see what mods the wise men of NES recommend for shooting (barrel, choke, etc.) trap and/or skeet, and whether my tactical set up would be violating some sort of unwritten rule of the skeet/trap range I may be unaware of, and whether it will indeed suffice until I can come up with the clams to throw down on a new barrel, etc. I looked around some other threads and found some passing mention of this issue, but nothing paticularly in-depth.
Thanks for any help you may give.
