I know many experienced trap and/or skeet shooters read the shotgun section, so....
The gunclub I belong to is opening a regulation skeet range this month. Everything is built, wired, and ready to go. One of the discussions is what clay pigeons to allow if the brand/type needs to be limited. I understand they have to work well in the throwers, but are there other reasons to have an "approved target list"? Shooters will buy and bring their own targets.
I recall reading that the biodegradable clay pigeons would eventually kill all of the grass, but can't find reference to it again. It would be nice to know the truth about pigeon material and the effects (if any) on grass.
The 2 brands of targets I've seen for sale locally are Remington STS and White Flyer.
To keep this shotgun related, I'll try my 870 with a 20" deer barrel (IC choked) for fun. I can't afford to get too serious about shotgunning, pistol competition is expensive enough. However, for less than $50 a year plus targets and shells, I can shoot a round or 2 each month for not too much money.
