Well, given that other ammo is virtually non-existent, last week I made an impulse purchase of a Benelli Super Nova 12 ga. pump. I'm using the Improved Cylinder choke. Target loads are relatively cheap and plentiful.
My son and I used the shotgun range at HSC, twice now, two weeks in a row. First time out we hit about half the clays. Yesterday we did somewhat better, up near 75% to 80%, and each of us had a run of 12 in a row.
Well, it was a blast. Both of us are pumped (literally!) about shooting. This is way more fun than shooting at paper targets.
I have no idea if we should be encouraged by our performance, but I feel we're not doing too bad for beginners. Still, I feel we could both probably benefit from instruction. Is this a good idea? Should we wait until we're more used to it to get guidance, or go for it right away before we develop too many bad habits? Also, are there any good places to go for instruction around central Middlesex county?
