Newbie question

I recently aquired a Mossberg 590A1 (8 shot) with ghost rings and a 20" barrel.
I put about 50 rounds through it on paper, then I realized that I had a box of skeets... so, being by myself, I had to throw for myself, but I was able to bust 9 of the 10 skeets I threw although they were at fairly close range. I absolutely love this shotgun and would highly recommend it- then go to the range and impress you friends by shooting skeets with ghost ring sights!
 
Mossberg 500: 220 bucks at wal-mart + 75 bucks (I think, maybe less) for the 18.5 inch barrel. A skeet and full choke and you are set for trap and skeet.

I use a cheaper version (knockoff) of this gun and it is great for skeet and trap.

The thing that I don't like about the 870 (don't get me wrong, it is a top notch gun) is that the button that unlocks the slide without pulling the trigger is in front of the trigger guard, making it necessary to move your hand away from the trigger to cycle rounds without firing.

If you can get the hang of it, an 18.5 inch barrel with a fixed IC choke will work for skeet. A longer barrel only adds weight to the gun for a smoother swing.
 
My 870's are good for home defense and i use #6 shot and if any one broke in I have a 12ga my brother has the 20ga between the two of us we will stop a intruder one doesnt hear the other does if neither of us do lord help us all
