So far I've only shot trap and sporting clays. Quite literally my first time firing my SN was on the sporting clay course, and I shot 22/50. From there I've improved my shooting on the trap course, and I can now hit somewhere between 19 and 21 a round. The little bead halfway down the barrel is priceless for aiming. I'm simply align the bead with the bottom of the fo sight, and float the clay just above the fo sight.
One thing I really like about my SN is the simple engineering. I can strip the entire gun down without tools in about a minute. The one thing I really *didnt'* like about the 870 was the warble in the rib down the top of the barrel.
Waterfowl season opens next Saturday for my district (!). I'm hoping to make it out on either opening day or the following Saturday.
congrats on clay shooting, that is going to be my intended purpose along with the turkey. I like the fact of not needing a tool, the guy at the shop showed me that and i was impressed.
Cheers!
