That's where the $$ is too. If you have a very good day you can fill your pockets.

Mike: I dont know about that.... one of the first columbaire shoot I went to there was more, and I mean a lot of money, changing hands on the sidelines then there was on the ring. It was like a back ally crap game.... where there was more betting off the table then on.

A good day for Calcutta buyers is lucrative too!

Austin, I shoot 7/8 oz 9'S all the time at skeet and most sporting clays targets. Unless they are out about 40 yards then I'll use 8's or 7 1/2, and that is only because im usually shooting a skeet gun with skeet chokes and 26" bbls

I've shot box, hand thrown, and cannon birds. Actually, probably the toughest shotgun game out there right now might be Helice.

Todd: True dat since hand thrown live birds are expensive and well "sheltered". If ya know what I mean....

I have always shot low gun at Skeet, SC and 5-stand... and sometimes at 16 yard trap.
I don't shoot these games competitively but just as practice for actual hunting situations, both realistic and "in your dreams" hard and easy shots.
