I love love love the Current Designs Solstice with the rudder. I think it is a 2001. It has the Joe Greenley custom seat.
If I am concerned about conditions I take that one.
Hey Mohave, are you in Wa. again now? Are you 2 settled in?

Hi there! Yes finally settled even though still doing renovations. We just joined a shooting club and I had my first Trap shooting experience with a kid’s Browning Citori so I went down and bought one! I found one that was on consignment by a widow.
Don’t know anything about it really other than it was a lot of fun and a nice group of locals.
The boy is winning nationally and another fellow was on the Olympic team.
I think I should have it fitted but I am just winging it like usual.
We kayak occasionally around Sunrise Beach just outside the harbor and have been seeing seals and sea stars and even a red octopus 
.
There is a very beautiful camping spot on the marine trail. The salmon have been there the last couple of weeks.
I hope you are well, I always enjoy your photos.
The Citori series are good guns. I’d advise shooting as it is now for a while until you gain the skill needed to know what the next modification should be . A pro will want a perfect fit, but you must get to a point to actually know the difference first so you are not just spending cash on experiments with stock fit before you know for sure it’s going to help.
I have not been there an a LOT of years but now I know you are over by Gig harbor. Nice around there from time to time.
I became a decent trap shooter with a Remington 870 after reading Shotgunning the Art and Science. Decent being from the mid teens to loŵ 20s.
Always wondered what trap gun would be like.
The shotgun is the easiest of the 3 main types of guns to use. In order of difficulty from least to most they are Shotgun, Rifle and Handgun.
I just never used shotguns much when I was young and so I never really got good with them. Before I was out of school I had shot the rifling out of the throat a 270 Winchester and I’d fired up about 7 pallet loads of 22 LR ammo from a rifle and 2 handguns, and fired a Ruger 44 mag enough to need a new barrel (which went in for it’s 2nd barrel when I left for boot camp) so when I got to the Marine Corps I was quite good with rifles and handguns, enough so that before I was in the Corps 5 months I had the attention of MTU in Quantico Va.
But despite my ability to "show off’ with the rifles and the 1911 handgun, I was kind-of a flop with shotguns at the trap and skeet rangers. I still am just so-so in my shotgunning skills. If bird hunting I can bring home dinner, but I am often embarrassed to admit how many shots it took me.
That was about 7 lifetimes of shooting for me.
