My situation is I'm hosting a skeet/trap shooting birthday outing and while most of those attending have shot rifles and pistols, most haven't shot skeet/trap, and those that have don't own shotguns geared for it.
One guest has and will hopefully bring their 20g o/u for others to try (especially the ladies) but I'm thinking I may buy a second one so everyone can enjoy the day. If I do, I may just gift it or trade it after the day. No rentals at this particular club. I've been in the market for a home defense shotgun for awhile, but know little about skeet/trap guns.
Trying to keep the cost under $800. Looking for recommendations on a 12g semi or O/U with as short a barrel as possible (I know 18" HD barrels aren't a good option) that might be worth getting. The shorter the LOP the better.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
