Ok, I have read and understood all of the descriptions of trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The problem is, I still can't identify what I have been doing. When I shoot at my local range, on a hilltop, they have about 10-15 spring loaded launchers that throw clays out over a cliff side to shoot at. Normally this is done with two people. You have the shooter standing right next to the launcher, and a buddy to actuate the launcher when you call for the bird. You don't rotate stations or anything, you just have 10-15 guys out there all calling and shooting at the same time. Is this some version of the above games, or something completely different? Thanks.

Pretty good guess Sander. Must have been my city/state that gave that away. You must be a bay area local yourself. I do most all of my non hunting shooting at that range. One of the cleanest/nicest set up ranges I've been to. Now that I am focusing more on Shotgun shooting, could suggest any other ranges that offer good clay shooting opportunities? Thanks, always good to hear from Local folks.

Sander,
First of all, thanks for the info. Second, can I shoot at your club as a nonmember to see what it's all about? I'd really like to get some exposure to different shooting facilities. If so, do they have a website where I can get somemore info? I will definately be on the look out for you at Los Altos and would like to visit your club in San Francisco. It's only about a 45 min. drive from where I live in San Jose/Cupertino. Again thanks for your advice and info. Hope to see you on the range. I'll be the guy trying not to look like a fool with my brand new Citori.

Sander,
Quick question. All of my previous shotguns have had fixed chokes and as this is my first exp. with interchangeable chokes, what do you suggest for the manual traps out at Los Altos. Just looking for a starting point.

Thanks again.
