In trap shooting, the clays are all shot from the same a bunker directly place in the middle of the field. In sporting clays, the clays are shot from two spots on the far left and right edges of the shooting area. These locations change at every shooting station. I warmed up with some trap shooting to get used to shooting the shotgun and dialing in on the small clay targets flying across the field. At first, having only shot pistols before, I was scared to shoot the shotgun. Pistols are much smaller, and I was worried about the larger gun knocking me over since Id seen many videos on YouTube of people getting hurt by the recoil. After I got past the fear of Hall . ' said she enjoyed shooting sporting clays because of the variety, and she hit most of the targets pulling the trigger, I quickly became more confident. After some practice, I could even hit the small orange clay targets with decent ' consistency. After I got the hang of shooting the gun and basics like safe handling, sight I picture and reloading decided to try the sporting clays. The game of sporting clays is played on a field similar to a golf course. There are several stations spread out with two targets to hit at each station. There were two courses designed for different skill levels. Being a novice shooter myself, I picked the easier of the two, and I was glad to have done so. Sporting clays were more fun for me because of the variety. At every station, there was a new angle to hit the targets from, and none of them flew the same way or from the same direction. Because I had started with ihe easier course, I actually hit most of the targets, which made it all the more fun. There were also obstacles to increase difficulty on some stations, and one target even shot across the ground, rolling and bounc ing across the dirt. I recommend shooting sports to anyone who might be interested about them. There is risk involved with any firearm, but when you make sure to follow the rules, it is as safe as a bike ride in the park. Be sure to use eye and ear protection at all times, learn the proper safety procedures from a knowledgeable instructor, and pick targets that match your skill level. Aside from keeping you safer because you are in your comfort zone, picking a target or in my case a that matches your course abilities will ensure you get a rush of fun with every target hit.
