Because of the stupid laws in CA, I was seriously considering spending my shotgun budget on a new pistol (new pistols will become illegal in 2016).
But then I realized that very range in the county shuts its' doors at 5pm, except the two trap ranges. And with me working and going to school, I need some flexibility in scheduling range time.
So I'm buying an all synthetic Beretta A300. I will probably deck it out in some sexy accessories from Briley when I get the chance.
I've only shot 6 clays in my entire life, so this is definately new territory for me.
Thanks for all your help in picking a scattergun!

2Congrats! Great choice. Has fabulous reviews for the price. (I picked up one last Friday and can't wait to try it out.)

3Great!! Glad you were able to pull the trigger on a Beretta A300 shotgun...and just in time. The rebate runs out tomorrow.
I've been shooting Beretta shotguns since 1994 and have never been disappointed. I hope you like them as much as I do. I also hope you enjoy shooting clays...it can be a highly addictive and very frustrating pursuit, much like golf. Watch some YouTube videos, practice as much as you can, but most importantly, have fun!

4Thanks for the advice! I wouldn't have even had the a300 on my radar if not for LGC.

That cat can shoot!
Any others?
Re: Decided...Beretta a300 inbound
10I suggest doing a search of YouTube for sporting clays, trap shooting, and skeet shooting. You'll find lots. Each instructor has a slightly different way of teaching and you learn something different from each of them. My shooting style has become somewhat of a conglomeration of several...but I lean toward Batha. He has videos on shooting skeet and sporting clays as well as trap.senorgrand wrote:Watched all those while waiting in the financial aid office.

12Congrats on your purchase senor. Makes me wonder if it's well beyond time that I actually get a shotgun too. Well, not this year though... maybe next =).
Re: Decided...Beretta a300 inbound
13Neat-O! I want to do clays, so I'll watch how your Beretta works out.

17No. Firearmsforsale.com screwed me again. They have my money and I hve no gun. NEVER order from them (I am 0 for 2).
Re: Decided...Beretta a300 inbound
18That truly sucks... No shotgun, no rebate...no joy. Sorry to hear it didn't work out.
