Just shot my first 410 straight at skeet today. It's taken me about 1,000 targets to get this far. The thing is quite demanding of good technique.
In the end, I'll be a better shooter. But... this is a 7.75 lb target gun.
I find the trick is to not even look at the dinky shell when loading, and just pretend it's a 12 gauge. Don't change anything, don't compensate, don't 'aim', don't try sustain lead on targets that don't require it. Just shoot.
Still, I don't have the ability to shoot a sub six lb. gun so the 410 is a target gun only...
