I took my dad out to a trap and skeet club today. It was both of our first times shooting a shotgun. I'm hooked
We only did trap shooting today, they recommended it for first timers. We each got a box of 25 shells. They took us out and had us take 5 shots from each of the 5 positions. Our instructor told us that the average first time trap shooter at this club will hit 4-5 out of 25. My dad hit 10. I hit 18. That was after missing my first 4, so after that I went 18 for 21, with a 12 in a row string. I was pretty happy with that.
I can tell this is something I'm going to enjoy, I'm sure skeet shooting will be even more fun and challenging.
What's a good shotgun for getting started? I'd prefer the cheapest one that I can get my hands on that will still work well for trap and skeet.
