Last time I shot Skeet or Trap was in counts 30 years ago. However my rather liberal wife has express interest in getting into skeet and trapshooting. She does not mind shooting my browning SA-22 but most everything else is a no go for her. However she tried 4 rounds of skeet and loved. Did ok too. Her only complete was the 12 gauge Winchester model 1897 was unwieldy and a bit much for her to handle. I would like to purchase something in a smaller gauge that is less intimidating for her to shoot.
We both saw these Turkish imports at a local shop and she she felt much more at ease with them. Not to mention they are a lot lighter for her.
I am looking at two of them. One 20 and the other 28 gauge. The sales guy does not do any shot gun sports and was of little help.
They don’t break the bank and it’s nice buying new knowing that if there is an issue there is a warranty as well. Plus if it does not work out we are not out a lot of money.
Is there a better of the two gauges to look at between the 20 and 28 gauge for skeet and trapshooting?
I know there are better guns, but let’s assume we are just trying to get someone to cross the liberal fence and get them into fire arms. Her liking a gun was already a massive step.
They come with five chokes, of which I know nothing about chokes. However, one is designed specifically for skeet and trap it looks like.
Thoughts?
