Or at least 15-20. Not just 3 or 4 broken birds in each event. That just doesn't qualify "One gun to do it all". We're going to want to see you shoot decently in all the events. Some of us made our choices with that criteria in mind. Ha-ha!!

I suppose it's how you define "just one gun". I didn't restrict myself to the shooting sports. My criteria was different, I picked a gun that could be used to hunt deer & another animals with and even protect myself from people wishing me harm. Not just a gun for the shooting sports.
That's why I almost chose my Remington 870. It has a 34" trap barrel and an 18" slug barrel. I thought about deer and a gun for protection. But an 870 isn't a double gun. So, I went with the best I could. It would be hard to shoot handicap trap with the gun I chose. But I think i'd do better with that than an 1800s hammer gun. Just expressing my choice and why I made the decision I did.
