asmurff Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 I jut bought a Stoeger M3500 in 12ga. I want to use it to learn to shot the different clay sports. I'll start with Skeet supposedly easiest to learn. I've never done any kind of clays so far, but it should be fun (I hope) skill to learn. I'll post a picture of it when I get a chance and my first impressions when I get it to the range.
Microgunner Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 I love shooting clays.I was at one time addicted to 5-stand.
asmurff Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Posted March 13, 2015 My gun club has; 5 stand, skeet, trap, sporting clays and I believe a practice area with a wobbler?
asmurff Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 Took it to the range today. I handled 2-3/4, 3 and 3-1/2 inch shells with only one failure to feed which was most likely my fault ( the 3-1/2 turkey loads were kickers and a flinched bad on one which caused the failure to feed. There is a recoil reducer supplied, I'm going to put it in before I go back out again. If it will cycle with all shells I just leave it in. Need to practice at home to get mounting it properly down pat.
Microgunner Posted March 18, 2015 Report Posted March 18, 2015 You were shooting 3s and 3 1/2s at clays?Ranges here only allow 2 3/4s with #7 or smaller shot.
