SOURCE: If I wanted to take up clay pigeon shooting, would I need to obtain a shot gun license?
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.
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.
