Attended a charity sporting clays match over the weekend.  Was an informal match and I’m sure some cheated their scores but it was charity and for fun.   I tried a pistol match 9 years ago and was disappointed with the attitudes I encountered by many but kept an open mind to this. Glad I did and had fun.  Only shot in the 50’s but was getting the hang of it by the  last 3-4 stations.   Now I need more practice and see how bad I get owned at the next match

I've done it several times. Lots of fun. Some people are stuffy about it but most seem to be in it for fun.

Each course being different helps keep the 'specialty' shooters on their toes. Some people are just really good.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

It’s big around here. But, if you get serious, you can drop some serious dough. We have some top notch shooters of all ages.
The serious crowd has expensive everything including outfitted side by sides.

Something I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t yet.

Over summer we were staying at a campground that had Trap/Skeet and were signed up but got rained out. Always seemed like it would be fun, maybe next time

Definitely was fun.   Tried IDPA back in 2016 and that left a bad taste.  This was a charity shoot so it wasn’t a full on competition but it was fun.  Didn’t score great but wasn’t the worst.   Definitely will do it again and if you tried clays, trap or skeet by all means try it.

When I was young I was decent at Trap. I let myself believe I was a good shot gunner right up until I shot my first sporting clays match. I don’t even think I hit half of them.
