I like to go shooting trap and skeet but i never had an interest in blowing a lot of money doing it. I've shot just as well with my 500, 870, or my semi auto stoger as the guys with the high dollar guns. I always enjoyed going to the skeet range wearing my jeans and t shirt. Then shooting better than the guys that were standing there turning their noses up at me cuz i didn't look as fancy as them. From what I have seen the people who hunt often out shoot those that don't hunt. Even though their guns cost significantly less.
