Shooting a Side x Side Shotgun for the FIRST Time! | Fabarm Infinite RS at NSCA Northeast Regional

What happens when a over-under shooter picks up a side-by-side shotgun for the very first time? During the 2026 NSCA Northeast Regional Championship at M&M Hunting Preserve, hosted by the Matarese Family, Jereme "JP" Tayamen decided to step outside his comfort zone by entering the dedicated Side-by-Side event. ShotKam Discount Link: https://bit.ly/TheClayLab-ShotKam or "THECLAYLAB" Ranger Eyewear 10% OFF Code: "CLAYLAB" For this special event, JP set aside his competition gun—a Caesar Guerini Invictus I M-SPEC—and picked up the all-new Fabarm Infinite RS Side-by-Side for the very first time. The Infinite RS is a purpose-built competition shotgun designed specifically for sporting clays and side-by-side events. Unlike traditional field-style side-by-sides, the Infinite RS was engineered from the ground up for clay target competition, featuring a forged steel four-lug locking action for exceptional durability, TRIBORE HP™ barrels, EXIS HP™ competition choke tubes, an adjustable comb, adjustable trigger, semi-beavertail fore-end, and a high tapered aluminum rib that provides a sight picture more familiar to over-under shooters. Chambered in 12 gauge with 30" or 32" barrel options, the shotgun weighs approximately 8 pounds 4 ounces, giving it the balance and stability competitive shooters expect while maintaining the unmistakable character of a classic side-by-side. But specifications only tell part of the story. In this video, JP experiences the unique challenge of shooting a side-by-side shotgun for the first time during the Northeast Regional's Side-by-Side event. With its wider sighting plane, different recoil characteristics, and classic handling, the experience is both familiar and completely new for someone accustomed to shooting a modern over-under competition shotgun. Along the way, JP talks with fellow competitors participating in the Side-by-Side event to learn why these competitions continue to grow in popularity. Is it the nostalgia? The additional challenge? The tradition? Or is it simply the fun of shooting something different while enjoying great competition with friends? You'll hear firsthand why so many shooters eagerly sign up for side-by-side events whenever they're offered at major NSCA tournaments. Whether you're considering purchasing a Fabarm Infinite RS, curious about side-by-side shotgun competitions, or simply enjoy watching honest first impressions from the sporting clays world, this video offers a unique look at one of the most enjoyable specialty events in competitive clay target shooting. A huge thank you to the Matarese Family and everyone at M&M Hunting Preserve for hosting another outstanding Northeast Regional Championship. Their dedication to the shooting sports continues to make this one of the premier NSCA events in the country.
