Requirements

Good functioning shotgun.  We want you to run what you have at home, however, an old family heirloom that no one can remember ever having been shot before would not be a good choise from a safety and function standpoint.

Pump, semiauto, and break-open shotguns welcome.  
Need 50 rounds (maximum) Birdshot. 10 rounds buckshot.  
Eye and Ear protection (we have loaners if you need it)
