Failed Gun
It’s not every day you get a new gun. Much less a Beretta Xtrema2. Needless to say, I was ready to get it out and shoot skeet. I had waited a month to do so and when the opportunity came on May 1st, I was ready. I was ready to say that four-letter word, PULL!
We started off at station 10 which was 4 report pair. Pull! Shot one went off and down went one bird (clay). The second bird was out… and no shot went off. Gun defect!
It’s very rare to get a new gun that has a defect but I indeed did. I was able to send it back to Beretta but it will be going for 4-12 weeks. With that said, I’m looking forward to returning to the Sportsman’s League to try it all over again.
PS – I was able to finish the sporting clays event using someone else’s gun. Thanks Todd.
