Went to the range yesterday to try shooting clays for the first time.

I have a Browning semi-auto shotgun that lends itself nicely to target shooting so we mainly used that, but I figured I'd air out the KSG to see how it would do. While I got some strange looks from some of the other shooters, the KSG killed plenty of clays, and there were no problems at all cycling the target loads.

We had a GREAT time.

It works! But it is a cylinder bore.

Have you tried it with a modified choke and a green circle in a red-dot sight?

You will get some really nasty looks from people holding $2000 skeet guns.

They will tell you that you are "cheating".

I love it! I tell them they should buy one, and watch the pee trickle down their leg:laugh2:.

We can help you come over to the "Dark-Side".

No, I haven't made any modifications (except for Magpul flip sights), so I don't have to worry about additional comments from the gallery. The range officer actually liked the fact that I brought something "different" to try, so I suspect the regulars will get used to me being there.

From a practical perspective I'll likely leave it pretty much stock and use my long shotgun for outdoor activities.

I'll still bring the KSG to the clay range because it's REALLY fun to shoot...

Cylinder bore being one issue, easily overcome, but the low sight plane... jeee my neck hurts just thinking about trying to get a decent swing on a flying bird with my KSG

I got dirty looks. But the range officer said it was fine and he owned one.
I used a Burris FF3. Some of the other shooters tried it and said it was like cheating.
I also used high brass 2.75" shells. Very loud, which added to the dirty looks.

This guy (KTOG member Speedmaster), owned it at Phideaux's shoot this year with one.
Kel-tec choke tube adapter, modified choke tube, and red-dot sight.

Maybe the "sporting clays" people don't want to admit that it is a better tool for the job.
Watching hits is more fun than watching misses.

Man I'm gonna have to try a choke adapter and a choke. My coworkers keep saying I'm not gonna be able to hit anything. I'd like to prove them wrong.

With the exception of Magpul flip up sights my KSG is stock.

It was the first time shooting clays for my son (16 years-old) and I, and we both broke clays with the KSG. Yes, we were much better with my Browning A5, but even without the choke you'll be fine.

I did really well with mine at the range recently, being one of the better shooters there with this gun. I have the adapter on the end but no choke tube installed yet. I do have a red dot that makes it perfect for clay birds

There you go!
Try an improved cylinder or modified choke tube screwed in that thing!
It rocks!!!

I may take my son to shoot clays again this weekend.

I have a cheap red dot that I may put on it for fun...
