Glad to know that my question inspired pleasant memories of your Dad! Hopefully I can find something special for mine. Please let me know if y'all hear about anything that might fit the bill for my Pops! Thanks again for all of the responses and shared wisdom.
Thanks for all of the replies! One more related question, if I may...
Dad mentioned that one of his favorite shotguns back in the day was an Ithaca model 37 featherweight. My question is, how often do y'all see these in circulation/for sale around the gulf coast area?
Thanks again!
Hi All,
My Dad is interested in buying a shotgun for small game hunting (mostly birds and rabbits). He lives in Arizona. He's interested in a 20 gauge pump. He'd probably be happiest with something like a Remington 870, maybe the synthetic stock version for the lighter weight. I went online...
Thanks for the tips, everyone. I think I'm going to make some time to go check out the Pascagoula Shooting Club over in Moss Point. I looked up their website and did a little reading and it seems like they might fit the bill.
If anyone has any more info on ranges in the Mobile area...

Thanks for the complement madeSICC88! I owe pretty much all of that to Jason Bankston at Tac-Site. I still have a long way to go in terms of my marksmanship skills, but Jason has really done a lot to help me improve over the short time I've been shooting handguns.
MadeSIC and TennJeep: I'll buy you both a beer (or three)! I had a great time shooting with you both, and went home with a sweet rifle. Special thanks to TennJeep for going out of his way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted (and tricked out with a few extras as well). I just ordered a...
*I've done some courses with Jason Bankston at Tac-Site in Summerdale, AL. I think he is a great instructor. My wife and I did an "enhanced" NRA pistol basics course with him last year. Since then, I've done a pistol marksmanship course, a pistol tactics course, and an AR-15 basics course. In...
Thanks to TennJeep for showing me around the range a bit this weekend! Looks like a great place to shoot, and close to home & work. Next step... get an application put together.
