I shoot a 12 gauge SX3 MODB mostly for skeet, but I bird hunt a bit too.

Bought a used 12 ga Model 1200 in a local gun shop a few months ago. It appears to be in near new condition. Don't have a lot of time behind the trigger, but it is a great feeling gun, easy to break down and clean. I have had no reason to regret buying it and look forward to making some new noise very soon.

I have a couple Model 370s that I use for turkey shoots. One for matches that are limited to stock guns and another that's had quite a bit of work done to the barrel for the outlaw matches.

I shoot my Mod 97 Goose gun, with 30" barrel and my Model 12 "TRAP" for trap. In fact until I got this gun, I didn't know Win made a model 12 trap with adjustable butt stock as standard equip.
If I knew how I would send pics.

I also have an OLD model 12 that I have given to my son in WYO. The mod 97 is up there also, but the 12 Trap is here with me still;.

Just turned 73 and after some 60+ years shooting I'm down to only Winchesters in my safe. A 101 Trap single barrel. Consistently shoots 23+. I have 2 1200 Skeet grades. A 12 and a 20. Bought the 12 at the Houston Gun Show in 1974 and chased the 20 for 45 years till I found one at an auction in the Florida panhandle. The 20 had been modified to accept thin wall chokes. I recently went 23-24 in skeet with the 20 and shoot consistently 75%+ with both in sporting clays. They're all I'll ever need.

I shoot my 2 bbl pigeon 12 on a regular basis.
im quickly becoming gray and older.
and now I know what its like to be known as the old guy with an old worn out gun.
seems I was taught to be afraid of them when I was younger.
I know why now.
I know my gun.

I try to head out to the skeet range weekly. I alternate between my M42, M23QS .410, M12 20g skt, M21 20g. I also have to include a 870 Wingmaster 28g and a Belgian Superposed Lightning 20g.

Happy new year!

Hawaii. Lack of game birds on my island of Oahu so gotta shoot clays in the meantime.

I go to the public one on the east side of the island. It's become more of a social thing.
