Trap is fun, Sporting Clays is more fun. If you want to shoot something that'll hook you for life, try Skeet. I favor Browning Citori's Skeet Grade but that's jsut my pick. When you start crushing 'em with a 12 ga, try a 28 and then 410. Happy clay busting!

I used to go trap shooting till I tried skeet. I love shooting clays. I used to go skeet shooting every weekend at Lake Merced till I moved to SJ.
If you like trap you need to try skeet. Its not as easy as trap though.

Like the other guys said, you should try sporting clays. Sporting clays is the golf of clay shooting and it is not easy, but tons of fun. Golf cart with a cigar and shotgun is tons of fun. The stations with the rabbit is the best. You will need to add about 8" to your barrel and get some chokes though.

Heres a place you can do all that.

Went for the first time last month with TripleF, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Awesome time. We are going again with a few others the Saturday after Christmas. My nephew, TripleF's Step-son who is going back to Iraq for the 4th time next month, will be with us also. Can't wait.

I just love trap shooting. I actually like it more than skeet. It can be very humbling.
