[Clay bird thrower]

There are tons of option when it comes to clay throwers. But I recommend you checking www.claytargetsonline.com for you to see the closest Trap/Skeet/Sporting Clays/ FITASC club near you. I had 3 different throwers but once I found where to shoot clays near me, I gave them away. There is nothing like shooting the "real deal". Shooting fees at the clubs are not bank breaker either. Goodluck.

[Your opinion on the beretta 682]

Beretta 682 won a bunch of World Titles in Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clays. If it feels good in your hands and fit you good, shoot it.

[410]

I shoot .410 for skeet. It's not hard to hit just easier to miss! Shoot it like shooting 12 ga.
