Doesn't surprise me, having shot skeet with you! Congratulations!

I’ve been wanting to give sporting clays a try. I love skeet, but traps seems boring to me. Sporting clays looks like a LOT of fun though. Andy, let me know the next time you decide to go if you want someone to tag along.

Oh, and congratulations!

It seems I have been quite remiss in your shotgunning education... it's a lot more fun than skeet. Get 5 boxes of shells together and we'll go sometime; we'll probably need to rent a cart if you have trouble walking.

Depends on how far I'd have to walk. I can still get around most of the time....I'm just slow. I'd like to give that Benelli another shot at breaking in so that it feeds reliably with regular 2-3/4" shells. It weighs a lot less than my O/U and would be easier to cart around; plus it recoils softer.

Dang!

Tam go for the cart, it is a lot easier on us old folks. I suspect Andy will take you to Elm Fork and you definitely will want a cart there. Sporting clays is addictive once you try it you get hooked. Good luck when you go.

What are Sporting Clays? Is it a cross between golf and skeet?

Pretty much EXACTLY what it is.

I shot close to 30 yrs of competitive shotgun sports mostly registered shoots, skeet, Trap and sporting clays, by far Trap is and was my #1 favorite, at the world shoot in Ohio 3 yrs with over a mile of trap fields in a row it was a sight from 1 end you could not see the other end. I will never forget squad 4007
times 5 shooters on them was quite a crowd. Also it was the best gunshow I ever attended! Deemed the largest sporting event in the world for total days/people the Boston Marathon had more daily but not total.
At my peak I was shooting 500 targets a week practice and reg shoots.
If anyone needs any 12 ga hulls pm me I have several lifetimes worth just come get them. Estimated 50000 maybe more.

What TAM said.
Introduced to the US and promoted by Texas' own Bob Brister here's the gist from Wiki.
