Can you buy decent clay scores?

Best advice. Get a properly fitted gun. 2nd get coaching even from club members.

Coaching from club members would be my last choice. I've overheard some egregiously bad advice given by well-meaning people who have no idea what they are talking about. I'm not very tolerant of people who butt in and try and "help" when I'm shooting.

If however there is one club member who is knowledgeable and willing to help then listen only to him/her and ignore everyone else. Sometimes too much advice/instruction can be worse then no instruction at all.

I may do a trip to the states for a fitting and trygun shoot, appreciated the referral for the fellow in Quebec, out to do a full trygun session and get stock specs for me. Not cheap but will be fun and worth it. Almost considering trying to build a trygun stock as a winter project.

I did a session in the UK a few years ago and it was a real education. My session included extensive patterning and both o/u and sxs try guns because there are subtle differences in the measurements between the two.

I am all for coaching, however, if you council 10 different club members about 'the right way', you will get 15 different answers!

There are lots of guys that routinely 25 at my club, all with different styles. And some are radically different, but things you may not notice until you have been shooting a while and learn what's working for you.

If you are into skeet, I would get Todd Benders Skeet Fundamentals. Unfortunately, I don't know an equivalent for trap.

I can't recall the title but Brad Dysinger had a really good video he put out in the 90's in partnership with Leo Harrison III. I gleaned some really good information from it.

There are a number of good Leo Harrison III video clips on YouTube

Yea lets forget the egos and continue so this doesn't get locked.

S&S Plus in Polson,MT are fairly close and have a good reputation.
