Enjoyed the video. Nice to show you don't need a 694 level gun to start your clay shooting journey. I started out with a Franchi Affinity before getting an O/U.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Kudos for shooting both of them well back to back. When I go from my a400 to my o/u I have to remember that my leads are different. Well done video.

Appreciate the honesty in this video.

Nice video

I'll probably never own another pump gun in my life, other than my Shockwave.

[@markbutler1616]

Thanks for posting that! Very enjoyable. You shoot both guns well and look at one with them both. Out of curiosity, what pump was that?

[@trigrdoutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed the video, pump is a Benelli Supernova.

Cool video and comparison!! I shoot a variety of shotguns for clays. Both O/U and semi's in 12, 20, 28, and 410. I have a number of pumps, but the only time I use them is hunting and occasionally singles trap. I tend to shoot clays rather quick and a pump just throws my timing off.

[@trigrdoutdoors]

Thanks. Pumps definitely add another challenge especially when trying to shoot complex pairs.

The 694 must not fit you if you feel it has more recoil than a light nova. Shouldn’t even be close if the 694 fitted you correctly. Obviously you are a competitive shooter wearing Pillas, as so, would you really recommend a cheap pump like that to start sporting clays? Seems irresponsible to me but that is just my opinion. If someone all ready had one then sure go give it a bang, but recommending one for sporting clays? nah bro.

[@fightingcarrot]

I'm just starting out and multiple instructors in TX who have serious competitions under their belt seem to recommend starting with a semi auto as it is lighter, has less recoil, and is less expensive to start out with. Maybe that's a recent trend? I still would prefer to get an O/U as it feels more "true" to the sport and it just plain looks and feels cooler.

[@trigrdoutdoors]

Yes I agree, if you want to start shooting clays a semi is a very good option both to start or to stick with. A lot of very serious clay shooters choose semi’s usually a A400 and prefer them over a O/U. Most important thing is to get time behind whatever gun you can afford to shoot regularly. Even if it’s a pump 😉

[@JackCrow58]

clearly you missed the point of getting out there and enjoying shooting sporting clays getting blinded by the fact his personal opinion bothers you. it’s not like he recommended taking and handgun out to shoot sporting clays. guess he can’t enjoy his pillas if he’s giving out bad advice by taking a pump gun out to shoot clays from the sky.

[@CanadianDad73]

Yea, I don't think he recommended it as the best option but rather not letting the fact that you don't have an over under be a barrier to you getting out and shooting.
