Finally a good video that explains the differences with out rambling for 15 mins. Cheers

For some reason it was really difficult to find a video on youtube explaining all these different shotgun games. Thanks so much for making a concise yet still informative video.

I was about to say the same thing! This is like the 8th video I watched and finally I get it! lol. Great clear and informative video!

Thanks for this video. My Dad shot trap in the 70's and we tried Sporting Clays once in the 90's (we stunk, but loved it- club closed shortly thereafter) and was just pondering this question today whilst mowing.

Great video! I was just watching the Paris Olympics clay target shooting - trap shooting - and I wanted to learn the difference between trap and skeet shooting. Thanks for the quick, informative video. Greetings from Australia. 👍

Thank you for the quick and concise overview. You have demystified skeet and trap for me!

[@shootinjh]

Thanks for watching! I am glad it helped. :)

Thank you for explaining the differences. I saw a video on shells and it mentioned these three target games without explanation. Now I know.

Very helpful I was confused about the difference between trap and skeet, glad I didn’t assume they were the same and make a fool out of myself. Lol have a good day for reading this.

[@HALWG51]

Trap is a game for grumpy old men. Skeet is a much more social game.

[@TheKarenjh]

This is very helpful to me. Thank you.

Great help, thanks.

It was very difficult finding a video that explained this. If you could make a more comprehensive video that would be popular I would imagine!

[@famousyoutuber2375]

Grampa taught me shooting doubles in Trap with my single shot 20g … I was hitting 20/20 when I was younger maybe 6 … I friend bought me skeet shooting a few years ago … ruff start … but started holding low and knocking em dead

I enjoy that you can do so much with shotgun makes it the better option for a first gun

Nice video

[@williamcastleberry7338]

One thing I have noticed. All the videos I have watched, everyone is shooting double barrels. No one is using a pump or auto. Does anybody know why? Back in the late 70's I had a S&W 12 gauge pump with a 36" full choke. I never shot in organized matches. I have had my brother operate the thrower. I never knew what he was loading (singles, doubles or triples) or which way they were going till he pulled the cord.. 95% of the time I would shoot a box of shells and never miss a clay target. Back then I loved doubles and triples over singles.. That was 40? something years ago. I have just got back into shotgunning here lately. I don't remember a 12 gauge kicking that hard, but it does now. I'm thinking about going to a 20 or 28 gauge.

[@Shot_Gunner]

Yeah I just started back up shooting 5-Stand and the recoil really puts a hurtin’ on your shoulder the next day. Not like it once was in our younger years. 20ga would be a good transition I would think. 🤠👍🏻

My last name is Humphries, spelt the same 😂

Order of most to least fun. Sporting Clay's, 5 stand, skeet, trap. Just my 10 cents.

[@bgjb-r1499]

Your order is correct, but there is a reason. Both Sporting Clays and 5-Stand is more difficult which makes the sport about hitting as many targets as possible. Skeet and Trap on the other hand is a bit easier so the sport is about not missing a target. So, is it more fun to get out there to try and break as many targets as possible or to go out there knowing that one miss (99x100) sends you home with a handshake and an empty pocket? Most if not all SC and 5-Stand shooters started out as skeet or trap shooters, but the pressure to try and achieve excellence was too much work.
