That goes into the area of hacking, not allowed

hard to help you without the manufacturer and model number.

The B-27 silhouette is my favorite target.

It doesn't make a difference; you should try to train your eyes so the best thing is to keep both eyes open when shooting at a target.

To increase your odds of hitting targets - use the most "open" choke that will maintain good density at the distance you're shooting - exactly the same as most experienced shooters do... Skeet choke for shooting Skeet, Mod to Full for Trap, Cyl to Light Mod will handle 95% of shots on the sporting clays courses around here.

To increase your skill - occasionally use your full choke for everything until you learn proper gun mount, swing, and lead and follow through. When you start getting frustrated, switch back to the open chokes to get a little positive feedback on some close targets, then move back to the full choke.

Skeet and Trap and sporting clays.

There is no age limit however small children will not be allowed to participate for safety reasons.

Most clay pigeon shooting ranges have a special exemption certificate so that people can go shooting without having a license; however it would be better for you to get your license anyway just in case there are any changes made to the laws.

Sounds like you want to "re-sight" in your rifle. Make sure mounts are okay and tight. Look down barrel and then thru scope and eyeball windage and elevation adjustments so the scope seems to be fairly in line.

Clean barrel if it needs it.

For basic sight in, start at 25 yards with a large(3 to 4 feet) cardboard or wood backdrop around target (bullseye). Fire at target. Once done, look through scope and position rifle such that the shot mark you created is dead zero. Hold rifle very steady and you or buddy move windage and elevation adjustments until scope moves dead zero back toward original target (bullseye). Fine tune from there. Air cool rifle between rounds. Once dead eye, fire another round or two to check grouping. Check your ballistics (sometimes on ammo box) to see how height at 25 yards affects your desired dead on target (100 yards, 150 yards, 250 yards etc.). Adjust accordingly. Example: you may need to sight in at an inch high at 25 yards, depending on your dead on target distance..

Always remove sling from barrel when sighting in.

Try to sight in at similar temperature as you intended shooting temperatures, if possible.

If not black powder, avoid cleaning barrel between sight in and hunt/competition unless you note bad buildup inside.

If you change ammo, understand that that may affect performance. Once a preferred ammo is found, some even try to buy a decent quantity with the same lot number on the boxes if storage allows for such.
