It looks level to me. I paid a little extra for a wood upgrade. If I lived closer to the factory my understanding is they will let you pick out the wood you want and they will send the gun to your dealer?

Problem with over/under is you don’t get the mulligan third shot when you need it. If you shoot for competing fine, but for fun go with a pump for those mulligan shots

I have a few model 12’s, and a model 42. All full choke. Maybe I’ll give one a try sometime. But for now I’m having enough trouble hitting them with IC and LM in the O/U’s.
There is one guy that is shooting some older side x sides. One even had hammers.

One of the reasons I went to the O/U years ago for bird hunting is to save money on shells. I figured if I missed with the first two I probably wasn’t going to hit it with the third. And if I had the third I was going to use it.

Shot in a tournament today. I hit 69/100, I didn’t stick around but I’m happy with that. I wasn’t last.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert.
But what I find helps my clay bird shooting is holding the gun (Benelli M2) with my right hand and throwing three or four clays into the air with my left hand. Quickly pulling the gun to my shoulderI can nail three. I find it improves my "not aiming" technique. And trusting my "pointing the gun" instincts. |

my m2 is the most instinctive shooting gun I've ever fired. I shoot it better when I don't plan and just shoot.
love the m2!

My dad was a moron but he was good with his clay shooting. He always said you don't aim a shotgun you point it.
There was a deal on M2's so I checked them for fit. Threw it to my shoulder a number of times. All shooting angles. Wow, I couldn't have found a better fitting gun if I'd had one custom made. I hesitated so the shop threw in a 10 shot mag extention and a whole lotta ammo, the rest is history ![]() |

Beautiful gun. I'm a skeet shooter myself but have shot some sporting clays. All the clay games are awesome.
Just stick with it and you'll get better. Good luck.

Shot in another tournament today, they seem to have a lot of them down here. Shot 78 and the average out of 89 shooters was 75.
I got to the last station and only hit 1 out of 6. Three pairs of left to rights. I definatly have trouble with those. But I am improving and starting to pick up on a few things. I definatly have certain targets that give me trouble.

As far as having trouble with certain targets don't worry. As soon as you figure those out others will become problematic. The Gremlins move!!!! We call that hitting the professional side. ![]()

Shooting is like piloting, you don't get better thinking about it. Seat time my Brother. Keep posting...we don't have sporting clays in my area, but I may get an itch to drive to Northern Virginia once a month ![]() Keep the itch alive!

There is a local club that I will probably join. That way I can go out by myself and practice. There are 5 gun clubs that I know about within 60 miles of my house. And I can shoot at a tournament several times a month it seems. On Wednesday about 20 guys get together and shoot 50 targets. So I have plenty of places to shoot and compete.
So I generally golf 4 times a week, that leaves 3 days to shoot and fly. Being retired takes a lot of time.

Shot in another tournament today at Sarasota. Shot 83 this time. One guy hit 93, average was 75 again. It was a sub guage fun shoot, if you use a 12 guage you start at zero, 28 guage you start at 10.
I’m thinking about trying out subguage tubes, either 20 or 28 guage. But for now I’m sticking with the 12 guage.
