Understandable Jim, a lot less walking. ;) :lol:
But no where near as exciting, heck I can pretty much do that here in the back yard.
And plenty of room in the field next door to the house. ;)

Hey guys, I am a NSCA (National Sporting Clay's Association) member and was Master Class shooter when I was younger. I am now a AA class shooter.

If you have any other questions pertaining to Sporting Clay's shooting that you need advice on...let me know!

I shoot all gauges: 12/20/28/.410
I also shoot semi-auto and over/unders.

I am 75, so I prefer my auto for 12 gauge events.
Most courses present targets from 25 yards to 50 yards.
Light modified is a great choke to use. If targets are are inside 25 yds, skeet choke is good.
If targets are outside 45 yards modified choke is good.

9’s for skeet.
