Trap & Skeet Shotgun

Buy used and you likely wont loose any money if you sell it later

This may be a very stupid question but is sporting clays a completely different discipline separate from skeet??

Stubblejumper nailed it.
Sporting clays will involve every imaginable target presentation that you can think of, from trap type targets and skeet type targets to everything in between, the sporting clays gun can literally do it all. If I could only own one gun it would be a sporting clays gun and I wouldn't be badly equipped for any shotgun sport.

There are no stupid questions.

Golf ️ with a shotgun is a good description.

Skeet and trap have set parameters like angles and distance ect.

Sporting clays anything going for the most part. Target setters can make it as hard or as easy as they want.

It's a blast I just got into it this last year and I wish there was a club they offered it closer without crossing the border.

That looks like a lot of fun. Do you shoot as well in the Okanagan?

Challenger and Score are Canadian, nice to support Canadian companies.

I've never had any issues with gun club or top gun.

Cheers - will def go this route. Thanks all for the info.

Read the first couple pages and then skimmed - As I'm sure has been stated, something that fits makes all the difference! I trimmed the LOP and had the pad fitted to me to get the perfect "Snowman" when mounted, made my scores enter another level entirely.
Have fun on your journey!

From what I've experienced on at non-registered Sporting Clays shoots it's exactly like golf. You can take mulligans and manipulate your score card all you desire with your squad.

Oh they cheat lots at registered as well. And take extra targets on a stand for you no practice. Personally I call it theft and well ya cheating.

I can't speak to registered sporting clays as I've never shot it but there are no shortage of sandbaggers and broken target claimers in registered trap. I have shot registered skeet and it is by far the most honest of the registered disciplines. The puller/scorer is a sanctioned referee and of the shoots I've attended they oversaw the shooting by the rules, period.

Thats the cover of a shotkam,
Youtube it.
It's literally a camera that clamps onto your barrel, I used one because I wanted to get better at skeet and it really helps because you can see where your shot went and it you stop ️ your swing. Pricey but worth every nickel in my books.

If there a first place, prize or not there going to be cheaters.
Human nature.
