No such rules at our club. As per our rules shotguns must be held in a manner that is "safe and under control". Once when questioned by one of the members if this hip shooting business met the safety criteria I pointed out that I was breaking more targets from the hip than some of the guys were shooting from the shoulder, IMO an indication that I have the gun under control. I also pointed out one of our high house buildings that had been peppered with shot and noted that someone shooting from the shoulder was responsible. That seemed to be the end of that concern.
However one has to keep in mind there are some people with miserable hand-eye coordination - they really should stick to shooting from the shoulder.

Because it is better to have flames shooting out near your crotch?

I've never done skeet shooting from the hip, sounds tricky. I have done a rundown with pop cans on stumps in a clear cut shooting only from the hip, usually put enough cans out so I have to do a reload part way through. I really recommend it, alot of fun.

Yeah......no thanks.
These are the type of weapons that give gun owners a bad name. Something like that doesn't interest me in the least. I find absolutely no astetic appeal to these things at all. Now if it was the gracefull lines of a fine trap gun, or the pure joy of picking up a quality bird gun well that's different. But I guess to each his own.

It's that sort of thinking that created the prohibited list. Bad information and ignorance to the anti gun establishment provides us with a bad name, not the firearms we use.
Circular thinking at best. If these guns didn't exist then there wouldn't be a need for a prohibited list. But the prohibited lists were created because they do?Win/64 said:
I see guys with this attitude at the club sometimes. That's when I put away my "fine trap gun" or my "quality bird gun" and squad up with my 14" pump gun. Those Federal Gold Medal shells light up the night and send them running for extra hearing protection. If the gun is legal at our club it's welcome.
Having had a "fine trap gun" and a "quality bird gun" pointed at me over the years I am much more concerned about the man or woman holding the gun than the type of gun they are holding.
The only reason I wouldn't shoot one of these guns for clay targets is that open ejection port near my face. Not because I was concerned about frightening the timid.
I think your just going with the flow. I have never seen anthing like these at the clay range. Actually I don't see the purpose of owning one at all.. Just my opinion.Claybuster said:Circular thinking at best. If these guns didn't exist then there wouldn't be a need for a prohibited list. But the prohibited lists were created because they do?

Actually, I believe it was uninformed peckerheads that created the list, with thoughts that an ugly black shotgun is capable of killing more baby seals, puppy dogs, and politicians than a fine shotgun, or that an AUG is inherently more dangerous than a thousand-yard bolt-action .308.
