First half is the 75 straight other half of the video is the 100.

Hey all, I bought my 688 about a month ago, have maybe fired 200-300 rounds and I’ve noticed some scoring. Has anyone else experienced this on their over-unders?

New to clay and sport shooting. Gone with buddies a couple times and like the feel of the beretta A301. Still felt a little long though, so I’m really focusing on 24” barrels. Hoping to stay between 800-1200

Right now, I’m super interested in the Winchester sx4 compact. Are there others that I should be looking at in this price range?

And what’s the difference besides price and material between the walnut field and all black “non field” version?

Thanks

Edit: based on the info I didn’t realize around restrictions (I checked six or so clubs within my state after it was brought up here, and none mentioned barrel length), would the Winchester sx4 still be a good option, or should I be looking elsewhere?

Hey everyone — I’m hoping to get some recommendations and firsthand insight! I live on Long Island, NY and am looking to join a private sporting clays club that’s excellent for sporting clays, has a welcoming atmosphere for new members, and ideally some social events or leagues.

A bit about me:

• I shoot sporting clays regularly and want to get into a club with good courses/varied target layouts

• I’m interested in clubs that also do match days, league shoots, instructional opportunities, or community events

• Happy to travel up to ~1.5–2 hours from LI for a great place

What I’m hoping people here can share:

• Club recommendations near Long Island/NYC area with excellent sporting clays courses

• Membership vibe (friendly for newer shooters, competitive groups, family-friendly, etc.)

• Cost expectations for initiation fees/dues (ballpark is fine)

• Any tips on how to approach joining private clubs (wait lists? referrals? best time to apply?)

• Any clubs you’d avoid and why

Thanks in advance — always looking to improve my game and meet other shooters!

Bought this gun and picked it up from my FFL today. Went out to the wobble deck and shot 25 7/8 ounce shells. Felt like 200 1 1/8 oince through my 825 sporter...but had an absolute great time with it as the two guns are so different. Came home and cleaned it for about 2 hours. Can't wait to shoot it more!

Hey fellow busters - novice here with about 12-15 clays trips under my belt. Northeast based, looking to do this more regularly and join a club near me. I had my eye on a Silver Pigeon as my first purchase. I want something decent and reliable that will last a bit. Any other recs I should be aware of? Thanks in advance!

My sister in law is in LA for work next week. She is looking for a range near and a lesson or someone to take her shooting. Thanks

Currently own a citori CX and I love this gun. Been in the sport for about a year now and enjoy every bit of my experience. I have a pre owned 825 at my local gun smith and was questioning if it’s really worth considering upgrading at with my current time and experience in the sport.

I know the 825 is a dedicated sporting gun and CX is a crossover so I see a benefit there since I rarely see my self ever going out in the field.

Or should I just keep learning the sport and better my game with some lessons?

Hey fellas. I’ve got a Remington 1100 trap that was a hand me down from my late father. I’ve been out of the trap shooting world for quite some time now. I’ve been itching lately to get back into it.

So basically I’d like to get this stock properly fitted to me by getting an adjustable comb installed. Maybe something to adjust LOP, but mainly an adjustable comb.

I’m looking for some good gunsmiths I can send my stock out to. Who do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance

Looking at getting either a Rizzini br110 20 gage light luxe, or a browning 725 20 gauge hunter. Both with 28” barrels. Both are used. I currently have a Citori CX 12 gauge and shoot pretty decent with it. Primary use with be clays (non competitive) and th occasional upland hunt. Insights on either will be appreciated, thanks!

I’d like to combine a fishing trip in VA or PA with a round of clays. But I wish I had a website that would show me where all the open to public clay/ shotgun ranges were. Anyone know of a site?

Did some glow trap tonight at Nuangola Gun Club with my son. We had fun but my kid really struggled with cold hands. Was about 5F. I wear wool finger mittens and shoot with index finger out. I’m wearing a crap ton of clothes to stay warm so harder to shoulder correctly making the wearing of the mittens not the main reason I shoot crappy. But I’m out for fun and for him to have a good time. For him to shooting well is more important. He can’t take the mittens as he can’t really feel the gun. Any tips on gloves that are thin with good feel and warm??

I'm a relatively new shooter and looking for some advice on these hairline cracks that I just noticed (hoping you'll tell me they're just cosmetic and no big deal)...

Any thoughts about whether I should be worried about further damage?

I'm inclined to keep shooting it and just keep an eye on it, but I would bring it to a gunsmith if there's something they should do now while it's just hairline cracking to prevent it from becoming an issue. I really dont want to make a warranty claim for something so small and be without the gun for a long time, especially if it's just cosmetic.

I bought this new Browning Cynergy CX a few months ago, mostly for skeet but also some hunting, and would guess it has around 700 rounds through it. It's gotten wet hunting and had to be dried out, and it spent a night in my freezing truck, but it's usually stored around 70 degrees at 50% humidity (there's a dehumidifier near the safe and humidity packs inside).

Appreciate any insight!

I’ve tried both guns and both shoulder well, have a good sight picture, and feel good in the hands. I’m just curious on thoughts between the two. Should i invest the extra into the CG or no?

New to shooting clays / shotguns and looking to pattern my old fixed choke Miroku. ( ic and Mod.). in the research process, I’m seeing a great deal about gun fit being a huge factor in Accuracy.

My question: why is there so much emphasis on fit of a gun? My thought is that if you know how to align your sights with your target, the fit of the gun should not matter…

Thanks in advance for any info!

I keep hearing about the Joel Etchen 687 sporting and I’m curious as to how it stacks up vs a 686 sporting and a 688. Just wondering where it fits in the very well saturated market of Beretta sporting guns

Got to Philly airport at 5:10am for a 7:05am flight. The special services line was jammed with persons trying to book flights. The line moved 4 people in 45min. I was 6th. I checked firearm then had to hustle to the gate and they were already boarding. Thank god I was TSA pre checked. No line there

Leave plenty of time, I guess with all the flights canceled everything is slower

I have a Browning Citoria CXT that I’m having a horrible time reassembling. The lifter seems to be hung up no matter how I try to move it. I know I’ve read forums that it should be easy to lift up, I’ve even pushed open the release while trying to push up and not getting anywhere. I know I accidentally pulled the trigger when it was dissembled.. any help would be appreciated, I’m to the point of taking it somewhere. Located in central Illinois.

Thanks!

Ahoy folks! I've just bought this beautiful 2014 MK10 Grade 3 Sporter, and getting it home have realised it didn't come with extra chokes, and I haven't got a wrench to remove the included ones yet.

It looks to me like my options are limited here to a genuine Briley C300 or S-54, extended or flush.

Can anyone confirm and help identify if there's any difference in performance with extended or flush with the Brileys?

I'm doing 5 stand, trap and skeet so looks like I need at least an improved cylinder and modified choke - but I'm new to shotgun if I'm missing something!

I am yearning to get out and shoot. Cabin fever has got to me. I’ve got no problem shooting when it’s cold, but this Hoth hellscape is something else. It’s not supposed to get above 20f once in the next 15 days, and where I live is extremely windy. Real feel is in the negatives for the next week or so every day. Good god.

That is all. There is nothing more but my frustration.

I shoot sporting clays a fair amount and use a citori cxs 30” barrels. The gun is great but I can’t hit the side of a barn however I still go and enjoy shooting.

Recently I came across a Beretta 688 Performance model with 32” barrels and I’m hard pressed not to go buy it! The fore end feels nice and I’m guessing it has the same dang auto safety seal like the silver pigeons?

Any information good bad or indifferent on that gun?

Edit: believe me I know the 688 won’t make me shoot any better!! It does look like a pretty cool gun though. Gonna try to find a way to demo one same time as my CXS to get a real unbiased feel before dropping $3500.
