Got invited to shoot skeet, gun question

[3point5]

I got invited to go shoot skeet in a couple weeks, but my Remington 870 has a scope mounted on it. The receiver has been drilled and tapped, so even if i swap out my slug barrel, I still have the scope.

If i pull the scope off, can i leave the holes open, or should I just buy another gun, and limit that one to slugs?

Borrow a gun from the buddy who invited you.

To be honest, if your first time shooting skeet is anything like mine, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference WHAT you're shooting, cuz you're not gonna hit **** anyway.

I shot with a Beretta AL391... and stunk it up worse than my buddy shooting his beater Mossberg 500.

That said, if you're just looking for an excuse to get a new gun, this is as good as any! You'll want an O/U or a semi-auto for skeet; with a pump, you really have to be on your game for those doubles.

It will be my first time. He doesn't have an extra gun.

Im always looking for an excuse to buy another one.

You can still use his as only one of you will be on the station at a time.
If you're used to a pump it shouldn't be a big deal. As it's your first time you can shoot all the stations as singles if you think you can't keep up with doubles.
You're not there to post the best score. Hopefully you're there to have fun. Get the feel of it before you start the gaming.
Be warned!! It is addicking.

New word? Or just hoping?

As mentioned, borrow one of you can. It can get expensive but a ton of fun.
