Is Lanber 2097 a game gun?

shannonpowerlab

Er...I was at a shoot today...Was poor result none the less...:pac::pac:

Anyway I was told that Lanber 2097 is a game gun? Did I buy a wrong gun?? Does anyone else use it for trap shooting?

Any experts opinion on this?

Does that mean it is somewhere in between?

ormondprop

ya thats right, did you buy it for clays only?

shannonpowerlab

Well, not really as it is my first I was going use it for culinary experimentations too...:D Am I wasting time using it for clay?

ormondprop

no will still do perfectly for clays if it fits you well and you can fire straight with it

It's a sporter, i.e. intended for sporting clay competitions. It'll be set up differently to a trap (i.e. "down the line") or skeet gun, (length of barrels, height of comb on stock, height of ribs on barrel, thickness of forend etc.), essentlially it would be more on the layout of a game gun, but with slightly longer barrel usually and built heavier to suit lots of shooting.
Sporters generally are very suitable for someone wanting to mix a bit of hunting with clays.

I see, so if I mount a game gun would my line of sight be closer to the barrel than with a trap gun? Because I fould it bit hard to blind it because I was afraid that I would loose sight of the trap...

It was funny in that when I see it I miss it and when I don't see it I hit it.
When I hit it I only see after the puff is gone... Thinking to myself - Oh, I must have hit it...

But I want to see the puff!!

So I was battling with my inner self for the whole duration...
