A bird gun is a bird gun and a skeet gun is a skeet gun. I shoot both and know the difference. In my opinion, the K-32 is the best $1500 to $2000 gun available for the competition shooter now that new 682 Berettas are into the price stratosphere. However, I shoot the Beretta as well as the K guns. I have been shooting three or four K-32s for years and they are the best comp guns I have owned. I love 'em.
