Differences in shotgun sports?

No, that would be 5-stand with 9 launchers

^^That was my 1st time out shooting clays! loved it, probably got half the targets.

Then I tried skeet, and well.... I had no idea what was happening, got 2/25... whole different experience for a newbie

Can you 'run what you brung' or will you be laughed off the range if you have the 'wrong' shotgun?

Well, seeing as you're in Burnaby, yes it does matter. If you come to Vancouver Gun Club, whatever you bring better have a fixed stock and a barrel that's at least 22" long. That rule wasn't my idea, and apparently the board passed it by saying that anything shorter was too loud, but regardless of its intelligence, it's a rule now. Just a heads up.

That being said, I've seen guys get turned away based on their equipment, even if it meets the club rules. It's not as much of an issue for guys shooting trap, and it's a complete non-issue for the sporting clays guys (they shoot all manner of weird stuff), but the skeet group is pretty close-knit and they don't seem to have a problem telling guys to take a walk even after they've paid their day fees and bought a punch card! The solution? Don't piss off the skeet guys!

Anyway, Claybuster, what about us bunker guys?! Where do we fit in?

What a bunch of jackwagons!!
You can shoot any sort of zombie gun you want at our club, and anybody that says "NO!!" gets jumped on pretty quick!

X2. The only limitations at our club are non-restricted and must be shot from the shoulder (i.e. no pistol grips.) Other than that you are good to go.
