My club is going to host Cosmic Trap for the first time next month. We expect almost no one to have done this before. Its just for fun, but breaking more clays obviously makes it more fun. Any tips for first timers from others who have done this before?

Edit: added the flyer in the comments for anyone who might be interested

I'm new to clay shooting, has been just over a year. Mostly trap, occasional sporting clays. Right now I shoot twice a month. In summary, I am very much a casual shooter and don't have the time to shoot more. I use my A300 right now and love that gun. For reasons I can't rationally describe I want an over under. The CZ Teal Target seems like a great deal at Cabela's for $800. Alternatively, the Citori CX is only $2,000 right now for Club members. As someone who doesn't plan to shoot all that much, should I splurge the extra $1,200 and get a browning, or is that silly for someone at my level, would I not be able to tell the difference anyway? Curious to hear thoughts.

There’s a wide variance on the cleaning frequency of the ports on a shotgun. I’ve talked to some people say every 2 boxes but have read articles saying every 1 or 2 cases of shells. How often should the ports be cleaned?

I just got a champion wheelybird yesterday. It came with 4 boxes of clays for $65. The guy I bought it from dlsaid he just replaced toggle switch, but I didn’t pay it much attention considering the price point.
The 3 way toggle switch is what he replaced. It functions properly in “on” position and “off” position. The problem comes in “release” position, it constantly cocks and fires.
I’ve been looking it up today, but everything I’ve seen has problems with it firing all time even in “off”, it not loading clays, or not firing at all. Nothing shows it only continuously cycling is “release” mode.

Could this be a situation where the previous owner crossed wires? Or the standard problem of limit switch needing to be adjusted?

I own a BR 110 Sporting and love it. Love the muzzle heavy balance. Going to move up to the next class of gun.

Does anyone have the BR460 (regular or EL) It’s the next version of Rizzini that I thought was an actual upgrade.

Am I missing any other close competitor guns?

I went to the NSCA tournament and tried out Caesar Guerini Summit and Invictus, Krieghoff K80 Paracours X, and a Kolar. Beretta/Fausti feels too light.

Many of the ones I tried were very balanced at the break, which feels a little weird to me and not as smooth when moving the gun. If I’m gonna drop $10K on a gun, I wanna make sure I’m not overlooking anything.
