Grousen,
You need to learn to read BEFORE you get bent all out of shape.
No where in my post did I suggest that the recreational Skeet shooter is not a real Skeet shooter or is somehow an inferior person. You can read all of my 2200 some odd posts if you want, but you will not find any text that suggests the recreational Skeet shooter is not a real Skeet shooter.
Who said folks that don't shoot Skeet competitively need to justify anything to anyone??? Where do you get this stuff??
You might not like me saying it, but Skeet is a four gun game. Even a lot of recreational shooters have tube sets so they can shoot any gun they want. These shooters know that Skeet is a four gun game and they like to test themselves too. It's fun shooting different guns. As I said in my previous post, recreational shooters have their own reasons for shooting the sub-gauges at Skeet.
You said:
"The 12 ga. is in many people's opinion, including mine, way too much gun for skeet."
I wrote:
"Many of the best American Skeet shooters in the world don't agree that the 12 gauge is too much gun for Skeet."
Sure, my text is not agreeing with your text. But, my text was not disrespectful, rude, or in any way mean spirited. If you can't handle that opposing opinion, you are in trouble anywhere on the Internet, including here.
Now, you take the "chill pill" because you got all hot under the collar for nothing....
