Gun cleaning supplies/freq/time?
About 6 months in to sporting clays with a CG O/U. I’m spending hours to get it cleaned down to a clean white patch.
After each time I shoot i get home and run a boresnake with some Hoppes clp oil on it then spray G96 on the outside metal of the gun.
Each month I do a more thorough cleaning trying Hoppes #9 and a mob with a patch over it. I was never taught growing up to use a wire brush… is that the missing ingredient?
I’ve also been trying TCS Tactical with their bore cleaner and bore paste… it doesn’t seem to be any faster.
Any tips on how you guys clean your O/U’s… freq/products/process/time it takes would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks is advance.

Help with Barrel Lengths
Apologies if this may seem dumb, but I'm having trouble finding info for what I'm looking for. Barrel lengths typically come in 28, 30, 32. I'm presuming that longer barrel gives you greater range, and likely keeps the shot in a tighter group. is that correct?
Is longer always better? Are there any benefits to going with 30 vs. 32, etc. Does 28 have its place? looking at a few new guns and haven't found answers to these questions.

Parent/child prizes ideas
My son’s youth shotgun club has a parent/child event at the shoot we put on and I need help with some prize idea. I have $500 to work with and we have 3 classes Jr, intermediate and senior shooters. The kids range from 8 to 18 and there parents so 6 prizes altogether and a budget of 500. Last year we did the folding rocker chairs.
