What do you prefer most:
Trap shooting, skeet, or sporting clays?

The youth programs in Wi are shining with success after these programs continue to flourish in high school sports programs across the state.

I like skeet. I think it's good practice for grouse hunting.

Trap.

I know it doesn't offer the variety of skeet, or clays, but, a great way to keep the skills sharp. The wife and I shoot on one league, and practice at a couple other ranges.

BTW the Minnesota high school trap competition was born at one of those ranges, The Plymouth Trap Club, a few steps away from the Wayzata High School.

Trap is great to attract women and kids to the shooting sports.

x2 Skeet, sporting clays, upland birds and waterfowl. The lack of any crossing angles in trap makes it of limited value when after wild game.

Anytime and in any form you have a shotgun swinging on a moving target it is of great value.

I really came to enjoy sporting clays back when my daughter was competing in Y.H.E.C. which is a great program.

Around here they call sporting clays 'shooting golf.'

I used to work with some hardcore skeet shooters. Twenty-five years ago and I still remember Wayne Mayes name. It's all they ever talked about. Adultery and skeet were the primary drivers of divorce in those days.

Sporting Clays
(1) You're always moving, never sitting around waiting for your turn.
(2) Every station is different - always a new challenge
(3) I can compete against only myself or a group of friends who are walking the route with me.

I agree with White17 about trap shooting, but I have a couple friends who are tremendous trap shooters who are also the best wild bird shots I've ever seen. It just never did anything for me.

For me I'd shoot sporting clays if I had to shoot targets. Alberta mallards at 15 yards over a pea field would be my first choice. Wild quail or chukars would be second and shooting doves or pigeons would come after that.
