Thnx, makes sense!

Same thing here. I am so far in my gun that I see nearly no rib. That is why I am also wondering how it would give more awareness while shooting. I never have the feeling that I don’t know where the muzzle is.  Would be nice to hear from someone who uses it what the secret about the tape is. 

When in the ready position? Or when shooting? I am not sure that I would see it whilst shooting. 

I like to watch skeet finals on YouTube. Quite often I have seen shooters with white tape around their barrels near the end. And now I am wondering what the purpose is of that tape…  thnx for enlightening me!

I have not been shooting clays for so long (1 3/4 years) but have been shooting mostly sporting skeet for the last year. With a round of sporting clays every now and then. I use a cyl and an IC choke since my ultra XS pro didn’t come with skeet chokes. Cartridges are 24/7 steel shot plastic...

Yes, well filmed. Enjoyed that a lot. I often watch skeet finals on YouTube but this was way better filmed!

I have watched older olympic skeet finals on YouTube. Hopefully at some points the Tokyo ones will also be availabe there.

Steel has a lot more BB's per gram. It is not as good at range as lead though.

My experience growing up in the equestrian world was that more often the highly talented top shots were not to best coaches (some exceptions of course). Much of what they do came so natural to them that they don’t know how to explain what they are doing. People who had to struggle more to reach...

It did come with extended chokes. Not the 2" version I think though.

Even though she thought she would go for the 30”, she ended up with the 28” version. Shot it yesterday and shot it well. 

I own one. It is my first gun. I have shot many different school guns. I learned that I liked browning/miroku better than the other brands they had. Then tried (shot) some new miroku and browning guns and liked the Ultra Xs Pro the best. I have had it for 6 months now. Never had to move the...

(Lady in question speaking) Thanx for all the advice! It doesn’t make things easier though.... 30 more multifunctional but possible front heavy ness 28 more suitable for skeet...🤔 I think I’ll just go for a 30’’ since I’m strong enough to handle it and feel I need the stability of a longer...

Thank you all for the answers so far. All comment are helpfull in the process of making a decision. You are very right. That would be the ideal way. But so far we have not found the way to try them both side by side here in Holland. She has been lucky that she has been able to try one in 28".

My wife is looking at a 693 vittoria. She is just not sure what barrel length to go for. Either 28 or 30”. She is 1.73mtr tall. The gun would be used mainly for skeet and parcours. Later on perhaps also to hunt with. 

Perhaps pilla are paying the clay manufacturers to come up with as many new colors as they possible can 😀 

Pffff tell me about it. I tried googling ‘Nederlands (Dutch) team skeet’ this one time...

For me the magic is a little bit gone with plastic covers...
