While I know that having a properly fit shotgun w/ risers, adjustable comb, etc. can make a difference in hits - especially on a clays game (skeet, trap, 5 stand, sporting clays, whatever) - I have a hard time not recommending that you shoot what ya' brung, and shoot it a lot. Beware the man that owns only one gun - he might know how to use it really well.

So I'd say spend $500 on ammo, round fees, and a shooting coach before you break down and spend $2k+ on a shotgun. You'd be amazed at what shooting 10-20 rounds with an experienced shooter can do for your hit rate.

If you are near the Gainesville area Gator Skeet & Trap is relatively cheap to shoot at, has 5 stand (closest to SC w/o an actual SC setup), and very experienced employees as well as a great community of veteran shooters who are always willing to help.
