I started hunting at age 4 with my grandfathers. I started carrying my own gun at age 6. It was a H&R model 88 20 gauge. I still have it, and it is still a beauty. I am better with that shotgun than any other I pickup, but then I have had a couple decades to practice with it.
I only started skeet shooting (other than just messing around with a thrower) last year at the skeet range with dad. I am using a mossberg model 500 20 gauge. I think the guy with the 12K 28 gauge OU was stunned at how well I was doing with it. After all his attitude (and yes he voiced it) was that if it didn't cost at least $5k then it wouldn't work for skeet at all, it just wasn't enough gun. He had alot of surprises coming that day.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
