“you’re not a good enough shooter that you need to use a shotgun for skeet? :=)”
I was a regular 22-24 shooter with a 12 gauge. Ever shot Skeet with a 410? Talk about frustrating! If I was lucky, I’d get 14 or 15!
It's been many decades since I've shot skeet. (In fact, it may have been trap or sporting clays rather than skeet. Sorry, I'm not entirely clear on the differences.) I was in the Boy Scouts (a skinny 12 or 13-year-old) at the time and, wow, was my shoulder ever sore that day.
