Actually you should appreciate my switch from shooting birds to
shooting clay birds. I am pretty good at it and I used to shoot lots
of birds. I realized I liked the shooting part a lot better than the
dead bird part. (cleaning, cooking etc for a mc nugget size bite of
meat). The skeets are always there, you don't have to go find the ones
you hit and it is always open season on them.

Hey, it takes a *real* man to shoot those dangerous skeets!
They are a tad harder to hit than a pop bottle or a sheet of paper.
Next time I am in town, we can go find a skeet range if you like. I
will be easy on you, say buck a bird? (bearing in mind I have not shot
skeet for almost 40 years and I will be shooting a club gun).

Sporting clays is a lot more fun and challenging. I'm luck to have a
course right by my house with a new one opening later this year about 20
miles away.

It sounds interesting but the only place around here was 30 miles away
and they had a spotty record of being open on the days they were
supposed to be. One wasted trip turned me off on them. I am not sure
if they are still even there.
Skeet does have a certain elegance to it.
