Anyone ever done sporting clays before? I went for the first time on Saturday for my birthday. Rented an over/under and brought 100 rounds. Had a blast, some of the stations were really f'ing hard. I don't know my exact hit %, but it was somewhere around 30-35%.



Here is where I went:

I used to do it all the time when I was younger, we had a launcher at the cabin and we shot the **** out of those things on the weekends.

 

I have a luancher up at my house in PA it's allot of fun

 

She's sporting Clay's you should too!







For that extra support only Clay can provide.

 

I've never done it, always wanted to though. Maybe I'll do that for my b-day.

 

closest I've done to that was shooting cans and tile in Nicaragua..

 

i love clay target shooting, have my own personal setup in my 6 acre field, also have thunder mountain and the ridge around here that are great to go to.

Sweet. What shotgun do you use?

 

clay pgieons are *******! but why shoot em in the air, wait til they land, then BANG!

 

20 gauge, single shot, 3 round. It's actually a pretty special gun but i forget the model and ****. Half the time i go to thunder mountain people im shooting with try to buy it from me.



My father and I are always shooting, not to sound like i have a huge ego but we're very good, when we miss a clay it's one of those dubya tee eff moments. The best is when you hit the clay with the wad but none of the actual shot.



I dont know what type you did but there's a wide variety. There's the open range kinda where you get 1-3 towers in front of you, you stand in a predetermined square and yell for the shots, basically standing in the midle of a field. Then there's wooded clay where you basically hike thru the woods to different stations, there's also speed clay which is a bitch. Then there's different kinds of clays, did you run into any rabbit clays? those are shot out rolling on the ground.



At thunder mountain there's one stop on the wooded trail where two rabbit clays come downhill thru the woods at ridiculous speed, one of the most challenging shots for sure.



of course there's old fashioned clay too. Basically a wood "bar" inf ront of you, machine mounted next to you, open area in front, yell pull, shoot clay repeat.
