Its been a few months since I have shot my 870 but I'm getting my group of guys together in a few weeks to go shoot some clays. Just stocked up today. 500rds and 810 targets, should last us a few hours lol. The guys that I'm meeting up with have 12ga's but one guys has a 20ga so I didn't get ammo for him (we usually rotate the purchasing) but here is the "stash"!

Nice work! I love shooting clays. You can't beat the Remington 870. It's an awesome gun! I just bought a Pattern Master Choke for mine a few months back. I highly recommend one! They're pretty expensive, but man do they work! It'll put the edge over your buddies.

ill have to look that up, i use either improved or modified. We just go out and have fun, no one keeps score lol. I did have a good one last year though that was pure fluke. I got two birds with one shot. dont ask me how it happened but my buddy that was working the trap had to pick his jaw up off the ground lol

Just curious, how much are those boxes of clays running you? Seems to be $5 for 90 or $8 for 135 around here...

11.99 at cabelas. No one other than gander mountain stocks them in my area so I know I pay a premium lol

I was at a shoot a while back and a buddy of mine shot the clay and killed a bird that was flying by in the same shot! Never laughed so hard in my life! The PatternMaster is a Extended Full so it gives you great range. Box of clays around the Wichita, KS area runs about $8 at Walmart. Seems like they go up every year.

Looked at the chokes last night, ill put it on my list. Main thing I want to grab this year is the +7 mag tube. I don't hunt with it I only do clays and I hate having to reload it all the time.

Probably a proximity issue. Are there a lot of trap/skeet places up in the Chicago/burbs area? Id assume not...

How often do you shoot clays?

 

[jLEE28]

yeah, i can't wait either! i'm stocked and ready to go. is that a bit too much? LOL!

3 or 4 times a year. Its cheaper in the long run to do it myself than joining a club. We found a nice public trap range in Illinois (go figure) that doesnt cost a dime and you have to bring all your own stuff.

No not at all, lol i went up to Michigan last year we threw 1200 targets and shot cases of ammo in about 5 hours

 

[jLEE28]

yeah! i got all those cases at 50 cents a box! yes! 50 cents! clearance at kmart. can't beat that.

 

[rharp]

damn! Thats a hell of a deal! I neve get that lucky!

Just got back from the fun, 4 guys, 800 shells, 810 targets. Had a blast and no issues what so ever. looks like we may go out again in a month or so. One friend had never shot clays before but he is a natural at it and was hitting doubles and triples with ease by the end of the day.
