In preparation for duck and upland field hunting, I very recently started shooting clays. If you haven't, you should. It's a great time, good company, and humbling.
If anyone living within an hour of Salem, NJ is interested, shoot me an email, looking to establish a team for competition events. Currently shooting at M&M Hunting Preserve in Salem County, NJ
Easy drive all major Hwys 295S out of Philly, NYC, NNJ.

Humbling is an understatement.
I learned that trap is one thing, but skeet is quite a whole different game!
At the 50 stations clays, my best ever performance was 24 
Once one is second-nature conditioned to that steady precision rifle/pistol trigger squeeze, then that shotgun trigger slap while keeping the barrel moving is like teaching oneself to flap the arms and start flying! Feels like heresy too 
How's 12ga and 20ga shells price/availability up there?

Did shoot competitively in the late '70s to the mid '80s. I have also shot several "Riot-Gun" rounds where the max barrel length was 19", a few with a .44 Mag/w Shot Loads and quite a few with a Browning Hi-Power!

Frosrfire, $84 case 250 rounds/6/7.5 shot.
Gravity plays a major roll in accuracy.

My Dad gave me a BHP for my 21st Birthday while I was Home on Leave, enroute to RVN. I was @ a Shooting Range in La Marque, Tx with a case of Clays on the tailgate of my Pickup and a Hand Trap Stick in my hand. A Galveston County Sheriff Car pulls up and 2 Deputies get out. They come over, ask me how's it go'in (I'm in Fatigues/w my Beret on). We chat for a while & they eventually asked what I was shooting at since there weren't any Targets Downrange. I picked up a Clay & launched it, pulled the BHP from my Shoulder Holster & Busted it! They almost crapped their pants!!
