Where are the shotgun shooters?

Those coach guns really have a limited use. Hard to hunt with except for really close shootin but if ya just have to have one..make it a 20. Less recoil

goodolboy i had the stoeger coach gun in 12 it was my bear bait grouse and rabbit gun for a while it handels real well.
When running bear baits the gun was lite and could be carryed with one hand while the bucket of bait was in the other bait bucket gets dropped when a sow steps out on the bait.
I am sorry i sold the gun now thow i do have a savage 311 the stoeger was liter and shorter.

Dan, check out www.claytargetsonline.com for a guide to skeet/trap/5-stand/sporting clays locations nationwide. I don't know Colorado's geography very well (I've only ever been in the Denver airport), but it looks like there are a few to choose from.

I got started hunting with a shotgun, then moved on to rifles when I lived in Pennsylvania. Now that I am an Ohioan, my hunting, including deer, is mostly with shotguns, though I still have my rifles. I have several shotguns, though none which are really high-end. But I agree that it's the person behind the stock, not the gun itself, though I wouldn't mind having a five-figure firearm someday! (Emphasis on someday...)

For the past few years I've been shooting skeet weekly in a league, and shoot a Baikal O/U there most times. I can't begin to calculate how many rounds have gone through it, and it works great every time. (I don't always, but the gun does!)

I have other shotguns in single, semi-auto and pump, and love them all.
