Throughout our lives, we each tend to learn more and more about less and less with some topics and less and less about more and more with other. Shotgunning is no exception. This forum gives all of us a great opportunity to exchange information. I'm sure I've learned more than I've shared.
For those of us who've spent many years on the target ranges and game fields, we've seen far too many enthusiastic new shooters become disillusioned because of a lack of information. Unless a newbie could buddy-up with an experienced shooter, he was destined to take one step backwards for each two forward. It's no wonder he became frustrated.
With the advent of internet forums, newbies (in all endeavors) now have quick access to answers that were previously learned by trial and error. For the most part, the frequent posters are here to share their experiences to help others avoid the common (and not so common) pitfalls. We love shotgunning and want to help others share the experience. At times, the postings may seem redundant, but it's new info to some.
