Remington 1100, Remington 1187, Remington 1100 Trap Model. All wonderfully shooting guns, I personally shoot a 1100 trap model and I love it. They are a semi auto gun, the 1100 will not accept 3" shells, the 1187 will.

I would go with the Remington 870 express. 8 out of 10 people who own shotguns seem to have one in their closet. I have one. Its a good reliable gun. They made a ton of them so you can usually find one pretty cheap. Good luck

Anyways, get back to your small penis discussion. Er.. I mean, gun discussion.

If you just want something for fun, I'll second the Remington 870. I don't care for the new Mossbergs much myself but that's all my opinion. Just make sure you buy something that is designed for winshooting, or clay target work. If you get something designed for home defense you get a short barrel, stupidly open choke, and can't hit shit at the trap or skeet range. I tried it with my Winchester 1300 defender and it just didn't work. If you have serious coin to throw at it, get a classic side by side. Ithica, L C Smith, and Parker reproductions can all be had for under 5000, but these are heirloom type guns.

From Wikipedia:

Skeet was invented by Charles E. Davies, an avid grouse hunter, in 1915 and evolved to its current setup by 1923. It originally used live pigeons but eventually changed to clay. In 1926 a contest was held to name the new sport, and Gertrude Hurlbutt named it skeet, which is derived from the Scandinavian word for "shoot". During World War II, Skeet was used in the American military to teach gunners the principle of leading and timing on flying targets.

Skeet is a recreational and competitive activity where participants attempt to break clay disks flung into the air at high speed from a variety of angles. The firearm of choice for this task is usually a high quality shotgun although many shooters of American skeet (see below) and other national versions still use inexpensive semi-auto and pump action shot guns with great success. The use of clay targets replaced the more traditional target of live birds, as a cheaper, humane and more reliable alternative, one reason they are also called clay pigeons.

The event is in part meant to simulate the action of bird hunting. The shooter shoots from 7 positions on a semi-circle, and an 8th position halfway between stations 1 and 7. There are two houses that hold throwers that launch the targets, one at each corner of the semi-circle. The throwers launch the targets to a point 15 feet above ground and 18 feet outside of station 8. One house launches targets from 10 feet above the ground ("high" house) and the other launches it from 3 feet above ground ("low" house). At stations 1 and 2 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house, then shoots a double where the two targets are launched simultaneously. At stations 3 through 5 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house. At stations 6 and 7 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house, then shoots a double. At station 8 the shooter shoots one high target and one low target. The shooter must reshoot his first missed target, or if no targets are missed, must shoot his 25th shell at the low house station 8. This 25th shot was once referred to as the shooter's option as he was able to take it where he preferred. Now, to speed up rounds in competition, the shooter must shoot the low 8 twice for a perfect score.
