I stopped by my local club yesterday and had a look around (there was a practice going on).
Seems like a stellar group of people, very friendly and more than happy to have another person come shoot with them.
Starting to get the various disciplines straight in my head. They were practising Skeet, Trap and 5 stand. I can now see why people suggested buying a sporting gun as it is probably the best bet for a do-it-all rig.
Seems everyone in Trap runs a dedicated trap gun (high rib and looooong barrels) so that is probably the one I might struggle on with my non high rib and relatively short barrels (30") but I will give it a whirl.
Skeet seems fast and up close, looking at it I kinda feel like I could do OK with my current rigs (with the 21" barrels) but my new gun will work too.
And the 5 stand seems the most diverse. Targets coming from all over the place. Some near, some far, some high, some low etc etc. I hope that my gun will be a good fit for it too. Pretty sure one person was shooting a 694 so thats a good omen.
