Been doing some sporting clays the last year or so, and in the search for affordable fun reliable shotguns I've been impressed with Franchis from Dick's Sporting Goods. Sleek and light at around six pounds, the 20 gauge 720 semiauto and the little over and under have been great bargains for me (wait until they're on sale for around $800 each). I prefer semiauto but enjoy them both.
Another interesting implement not currently in favor but extremely versatile is the Polychoke II for my 12 gauge Remington 1100. Just dial any choke wanted instead of threading in separate chokes.
Now if I could only find an inexpensive sporting clays computer training program. Found one old CD program I have coming from Amazon, and my old Remington Top Shot is good for trap and skeet. There's an elaborate setup for around $800 plus a dedicated computer that looks great, but too much money and clutter for my needs.
Any of you shooting sporting clays and five stand with favorite equipment or techniques you'd like to share? My credo is shoot ahead and under. Not the best option for hunting but works for clays that eventually run out of energy.
