This site s a great resource. I shot a shotgun (first gun ever) this past winter and was very quickly hooked. I live in Boston and just applied for my Class A LTC, passed the Moon Island test and am awaiting a license. Very much looking forward to buying my first shotgun and joining a local club or two to shoot sporting clays, 5 stand, etc.
Not having a ton of experience and reading so much about gun fit, how does someone properly select a shotgun? I am thinking of shelling out for a new or used (lower end) Beretta (686) or Browning (citori/cynergy) but don't want to buy one only to then try another and realize it was a better "fit." I have shot and liked a Browning cynergy but how do I know I won't like a Beretta more?
Do any local clubs have a range of guns that newbies can try-out? Any other ideas for finding the right gun?
Thangs very much
