Good choice. Have fun.
I am arriving late to the party, nut have shot skeet, trap, and clays, extensively.
Not competitive, but for fun and practice for hunting season. Gauge is not as important as most make it out to be. Common perception is 12ga is required/needed/preferred for trap and clays. Not true, 20ga works very well. Choke is what makes a difference.
Knowing your equipment and practice will have more impact on scores than gauge, choke or action type.
My hunting buddy owned 1 shotgun. 870 12ga Mod choke. Arguably the epitome of compromise. Yet, on skeet, trap or clays; he shot comparable scores to the rest of us.
Be wary of the person that only has 1 gun.
