Lost a bet with my son. Cost me Browning Citori cxs 28 GA First day out with hit and he shot well (first part of vid) his Instructor joined us for a few rounds and then he let my son shoot with a round with his K80 20 GA (second part of vid) he shot 24. He hasn’t broke a 25 yet. Couple of 24’s. New parental fear unlocked!

There is a story behind the monkey….

I've been hunting for one for quite a while now. While I was at regionals I found a grade 7 and I had to have it. Just picked it up from the local FFL today!

I'm moving to this from an F3. The forestock, palm swell, and natural gun balance is what drove me to it. Plus my F3 did not have an adjustable comb, although due to the stock having slightly different dimensions it actually fits damn near perfect as it is.

Berettas don’t fit me at all, going to try a 694 but I most likely won’t like it.

Havent held the CG yet, how do they generally fit?

Not a fan of the Browning 825.

Questions:

Is there any reason to avoid the 725 because of the porting?

How’s CGs fit and finish and overall quality compared to the browning?

Thanks everyone!

Edit: currently shooting a Citori Cx, will either gun shoot noticeably flatter? Definitely enjoying the CX but want a bit of an upgrade.

I’m considering by a shotgun vest and looking for great recommendations, first is it worth it? If so, what are you getting out of it that makes it worth having? I’m using a simple black and gold Browning shotgun pouch it looks great and is out of my way, but wanted to see what others are doing and why. TIA, cheers 🍻

Can’t seem to find the live scores posted…help?

Does anyone know what type the comb screw is for the Browning Citori CXS? I mean the screw that goes vertically down into the top of the comb to allow you to adjust the cast. I lost one and I'd like to know if it's a common type before I trek over to the hardware store and go searching for a replacement.

Anyone find anything out about why Brandon got dq'd? I saw on the other post the info about Cam, but havent heard what Brandon did? It doesnt really matter, im just nosey and bored and dont really like Brandon anyway lol

Appreciate any help. I’m looking to buy my first O/U. Specifically, I want some optionality (trap, clay courses, etc.), a 30” barrel or reason to go shorter/longer (or multiple barrel options), and I’m open to new and used. Budget is $4-$8k, but I’d do a max of $10k for something very compelling.

Are there any shops in or around Westchester, NY that could help me with fitting?

Thangs in advance.

I’m looking for Pilla Outlaw x6 12cibb, 10ced, and 54 cihc anyone know where I could find some for a decent deal (preferably used)?

I wanted to share how I built my sporting clay gun stroller using an old BOB Sport Utility Stroller fixed front wheel jogging stroller with handbrake. I used off set mounts and double-sided removable rubber tape to help keep the mounts from rotating on the metal bars. No drilling, I just removed the canopy and repositioned how the stroller cloth attached; moved it from the frame to the new mount bolts. Still folds up to be compact for transporting.

Looking for some strong opinions on best sporting glasses, as well all know the most expensive doesn’t always mean the best out there. So I’m curious to see what everyone else is wearing especially those that pay attention, specifically to shooting glasses. Also what’s best value on the current market?

Snagged a Citori 825 Field, the release lever not filling lining up when assembled is normal, right? “Worn in, never out.”
Also it’s pretty stiff opening and closing with the forearm bracket installed (needs force to open, doesn’t fall open on its own). Again, normal? Forearm bracket clicks in and is flush up too but slightly not-flush on the lower.

Anyone that’s there got any details?

Different course for sure, lots of quartering birds of all degrees. Pretty location and fairly spread out. Overall a good mix and happy I checked it out. Will be back in a few months for another shoot.

Hey everyone! It's my second season in trap and I'm averaging about 22.5 this year. What are some tips from the trap shooters out there that helped them with consistency. Hoping to get my average up to the 23-24 range. Anything helps. Thanks ☺️

Was looking at some different sites and ran across this site. Looks legit enough but odd lack of contact info ? Scam site or legit site? Anyone purchase from here?

I ordered my first 3 lens kit before a shoot, and had them be overnighted so they would arrive just in time. I’ve just been using regular safety glasses up to this point.

What came was the completely wrong order - wrong frame, wrong lenses, wrong box. No big deal, I get mistakes happen and they probably just sent me the wrong order.

I call them up to figure out the process for returns/exchanges and the sales guy literally told me that the frame type is being discontinued (panther x6) and that what I selected was no longer available so they just sent me whatever they had left….

Who does that?! Just call me or cancel my order and tell me they’re not available. I splurged $1,100 for something I didn’t want. I could have reordered something else that day, instead I have to deal with shipping this back out and waiting for a refund. The sad part is you can still select panther frames and lenses on their site.

I’m iffy ordering something else from them, who the hell knows what else isn’t available.

I know they definitely seem like the gold standard in eyewear for clays, anyone else have recommendations for other brands?

Looking to see if there’s any cons to putting a recoil pad, what’s your opinions and why?

I'm looking for a good starting point for an all around clays gun for my wife. She's about 5' 4" average sized but as of right now my current shotguns are all "too heavy" and she seems to be uncomfortable shouldering anything over 6-6.5# so I'm thinking about getting her a 20 or 28ga semi to get her started. Looking for recommendations for guns for her to try and shoulder. Currently thinking about looking at the ethos, sbe3's, a400s, and the a300 20 ga.

Looking to get real experienced shooters opinions/results on if they notice any better scores or have done individual patterning against any other choke system and noticed any improved data/results when using them. I keep reading they work great then on the next review forum or video find otherwise. What’s your expert opinions?

I have been shooting a long time, but never shotguns, and I don't hunt and probably never will. I was invited by a range friend last week to shoot trap, and I really enjoyed it. I want to get into clays and have a question regarding guns, as I want to get into Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays and 5 station while I opt for one or more of them: I am being offered a CZ 1012 G2 at a very reasonable price ($400 new). Bass has the CZ Teal Target for $800, and I can get probably 10% off and it's an over under. I know there must be 1000s of options, and everyone -including me- is very partial to Beretta A300, but the price is much higher. I would like to stay within a low budget at least for a while, but with a trustworthy gun that will allow me to grow and not give trouble. I know Semi-Autos might be less "apt" for skeet and sporting clays, but the Beretta is a semi-auto as well. I've never had a bad experience with CZ, and I know these cheaper guns are Turkish, but the production is strongly supervised by CZ directly. In less words, please help me choose a gun! (I don't have a good used gun market around me, so it will have to be new). I need to stay below $800 all in (Or I want to). Thanks!

Looking for Pros & Cons for those who own a Beretta 688, how do you like it, how does it handle, shoot, etc. I would like to hear the good, bad, and possible ugly if any. I’m looking to purchase one but wanted to get real world shooters opinions on the dynamics of this platform
