Since I've been off at college, it has been pretty hard to shoot anything. Besides hunting, I really enjoy clay target shooting, and I'm in the process of trying to get a club started here. I've got most of it sorted out, but I am doubting I will be able to get the shotguns donated, and sporting over/unders tend to be rather pricey.
Here's generally what I'm looking for:
(1) Something durable that will be able to take years of use without much problem.
(2) Something safe. I would imagine this goes with (1), but the last thing I want is for somebody to get hurt while we are out shooting.
(3) Cheap-ish. I want to be sure the team can afford enough for what we need to shoot, but if a small price increase will lead to a significant improvement in (1) and (2), the extra money is probably worth it.
(4) I'd prefer to buy something new and have a set of identical guns for consistency's sake, as well as having a full warranty on the gun in case something goes wrong.
(5) (not as important) I would like the gun to be a dedicated target model. These usually have some helpful features like adjustable stock, more easily changeable chokes, etc.
(6) (also not so important) It would be nice if there was a ladies/(maybe) youth version available since I've found a few girls here who are interested and they would have a much easier time with a slightly smaller version of the gun.
I realize these conditions are kind of limiting, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
