Any of you fine fellows here participate in clay target shooting! My favorite shooting sport, started back in the 90's. | ||

I really enjoy sporting clays, and also like skeet shooting. Trap is less interesting to me but it still doesn't suck. I like bird hunting better, but . . . The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Busted clays don't taste very good. Yes I like to shoot a shotgun at pretty much anything. Most of my clays shooting is as warmups to bird hunting. 5-stand is my favorite game. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I favor trap, then sporting clays, lastly skeet. I shot on the local trap range a lot before it was closed. The current locations aren't that convenient but occasionally I do break out the old 870 Wingmaster and can still smokem' when fortune looks kindly on me. | |||

I REALLY enjoy SC's. Sadly zero courses even remotely close by. I do shoot a couple of courses in South Jersey when I go out to visit my Mom. Red Wings at Soos Landing, and another the name I can't recall. My favorite course though is Lehigh Valley out in PA. GREAT course. FN in MT | |||

Sporting clays FTW!  Four good courses within an hour or so. When it's going to be a nice weekend, there's a core group of 3-5 of us that head out. Haven't done trap, did 5-stand once and liked it, and skeet a couple times and liked that as well. | |||

It's fun. I was never any good at it, but it was a good time with friends and I'd do it again. | |||

I've shot LVSC a number of times over the years. That place is spectacular. Lake shots, shaded and two levels of targets. Great Pro Shop also! | |||

Sporting clays ! I too prefer live quail but have to drive 2 hours to Georgia to hunt them. My sporting clays/skeets/trap club is two miles away. Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies. Gene Hill | |||

My favorite is trap, then sporting clays. Skeet is too much work.....or I'm just too slow.....LOL | |||

I enjoy it. Going to have to see if I can find an acceptable place to shoot, though. Sportsman's club to which I used to belong only allows steel shot. Don't like steel shot. There's only one other club nearby, I think, that may have public hours on the shotgun ranges. I'll have to check. Otherwise: I just bought us a WheelyBird thrower. If nothing else: That at the DNR-run shotgun range will suffice. I'll get the manual thrower working right again, too, and use that for throwing doubles on occasion.

Ensigmatic....ONLY allows STEEL shot. What's up with that? Your range is over wetlands? | |||

Not my range. Not for many years. It's a long and sordid tale, riddled with politics. Short answer: Yes. They had had nice skeet and trap ranges. To "fix" the problem on the trap ranges they dredged the wetlands where the lead shot had been landing, used it to fill large tubes, which they stacked up and covered with dirt, making a gigantic berm. (I've seen berms used like that on trap ranges, before, but this berm seemed to me to be awfully close to the shooting line. IDK.) It "wasn't possible" to fix the skeet ranges, so they remained limited to steel shot. (Steel is expensive and I don't like the way it acts.) You could still shoot sporting clays with lead (last I knew). I had never been all that fond of their sporting clays range, though. "America is at that awkward stage.

I love sporting clays, five stand and skeet. I never really cared for trap though. Unfortunately, the closest place to me is an hour away and crowded most of the time. I’d love to be able to go at least once a week. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

I've shot at steel only sporting clays courses. They claim their trees and vegetation through the course are a lot healthier. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||
