I haven't been shooting Sporting Clays as long as most of you, but what little I have has been with others more experienced. Shooting at a friend's club in NY is more relaxed, and I have a host who is willing to take time for helpful instruction, which without, I'd be far worse than I am. However, the places open to the public where I have shot put pressure on the shooters to 'move along', discouraging me from asking for help, and slowing down the pack. Traditional Trap and Skeet clubs have many fields, and can dedicate one or more for instruction, but most SC courses don't have the real estate for more than 1 or 2 courses.
When I was in school, we had a riflery club and both trap and skeet. When I was asked to help out at my son's school I was put on some watch-list when I suggested something like that. I doubt many schools would adopt SC as a sport, because, as where riflery, trap and skeet are so well defined, with rules from International organizations, and accepted as Olympic sports, SC is more dynamic, less universally defined and not accepted as an Olympic sport. Way more fun in my book, and jeez I hate rules.
