I am very interested in sporting clays. I have been twice and I loved it. First time with an older Browning o/u. Did not do so great, I shot in the low 50's. It was made clear to me by some more experienced shoters that the gun did not fit me. The second time I went I rented a Beretta 3901 20 gauge and shot in the 70's. At one station I shot all targets. I think I could improve if I found a gun that fit me (and, of course, shot more often). I'm 6'4" with a sleeve length of 37". I really like the Beretta autos and I understand that shims can be used to make slight adjustments, but not to the extent I require. Can some one explain how one "fits" a shotgun? Are there available after market stocks to accomidate length? Also, I am still debating over the Beretta 391 vs an o/u in the $1000-$1,500 range. Leaning toward the auto. I borrowed a friends Benelli once shooting 5 stand and it was just okay. Really, I'm looking at the Beretta vs. a decent O/U, but really need to hear about fit.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
