Had fun shooting trap with the scouts. I was the designated pigeon thrower (by hand) for most of the time. After watching the scouts struggle for the most part (and the 2 adults with little shooting experience). I took 3 shells, and obliterated all 3 clay pigeons. I handed the rifle to the next scouts and said, "Gentlemen, that's how it is done."

They may think I am arrogant and that I think I know everything. They are right.

So, I'm thinking about getting a shotgun. I've had my eye on the cheap but good Remington 870 express for a long time. I think Zulu has a 11-87 semi. What's the advantage in having an auto? I presume it can make shooting 2 pigeons in the same throw a little easier. Probably better for hunting also. Of course, it is about 3 times more expensive than the 870 express.
