I'd take your $125 Boito and $3,875 worth of ammunition if you're getting the same scores ;)

That is more an indication of skill than firearm ability.

With any of the shooting sports I believe it is better to hang off buying anything for a while, if the resources are there to allow it. I often lend gear but usually let others do the coaching.

I've shot a 15k shotty and missed a huge target stuck to a tree.

I totally blame the shotty and not my mad skills :lol:

Go Boito. 20" barrels with rifle sights and 30" barrels under over. Or same in side by side only longer barrels 28". Under a grand and good enough quality for first shotty with versatility or two barrels, but if I had my time again knowing now what I know I'd have saved and bought what I consider to be an absolute awesome shot gun.. Chiappa 28" 7 shot lever action best hunting shotgun you'll get on an A class license

Yep I shoot my Boito SB just as good as I do my Beretta SP1 possibly even better :lol: Either way the clays get smashed with good regularity. My first comp I went in with the Beretta I got 3rd place, 2nd comp I got 2nd (beaten by 1 clay for 1st place) and that was the last time I went in any comps as I just couldn't afford it anymore. :| I beat quite a few A Grade and AA Grade too in some of those comps. :D

Sucks when price is the reason you have to quit something you love doing :(

Nothing worse than that.
