If your ever in VA, our Ft. Lee fun shoots and Old Forge Fun shoots all have food and things of that nature.
The Ft. Lee is 40$ with lewis included, 150 targets consisting of trap, double trap, skeet, double skeet, and 50rnds five stand. pulled pork bbq, dogs and beans is the norm.
The old forge is sporting clays at a 15 station course, which isn't an easy set of targets. It's 100rnds with a 200rnd option.
Or I could just transfer the Benelli disease

A real American shotgun. Looks like it is in pretty good condition. I have a Stevens in 16 gauge myself. I'm glad that people other than me are still shooting these great guns. If anybody still has one, all they do is hang it on the wall. Give the gun what it really wants, to be shot! Now days, if it's not Camo or plastic, nobody wants to shoot it. Have fun!!!

That's a fine example of an American working class double gun you have there. I don't know a thing about the ranges involved in wobble, and I don't know the chokes in that shotgun, or the loads you'll be using, but if the chokes are even close to appropriate for the ranges at which you're shooting, 15/50 won't be the gun's fault...
And if it's choked too tight, then you need to just DUST 'EM ALL!

All for naught, rain moving in and shoot is cancelled, but not the picnic! 
The gun is choked mod/full and I use 1 oz #8 target loads. too tight, just gotta' concentrate a little harder. Good thing, all the birds are pretty much trap shots, just don't know where they're going. But, most are doubles!!
