My older son and I decided to get into trap shooting a few years ago. I obsessed on the subject, which is what I do when I decide to get into something. I read everything I could about all the guns commonly used. From what I gathered, and now seen a bit from hanging out at the club, a Browning Citori of any grade is an excellent gun that any shooter can wield with pride. The CG has the reputation for providing a premium product at a relatively value price. Beretta has good, better and best guns, at all price ranges. My understanding is that the Beretta DT range would compete with CG's product. Both are professional grade.

I ended up with a Winchester 101 pigeon grade from Dave of this board that the shop he gunsmiths at got in on trade. I bought a Browning Maxus, which was a brand new model for my son, thinking that he would appreciate the lower recoil of an auto loader as a teen and would want it to hunt upland game. Both were good choices for us. Frankly, club members often stop us and compliment both of us on our guns. But if price were no object, I've always lusted for a Beretta DT,
