I shoot all types of clay games. I have been doing it for a long time, and am pretty good.
It all depends on the clay game that you are shooting.
For example, I find that in American Skeet, I use 1oz loads moving about 1145FPS. This is a very light load, and very effective for the relatively slow moving clays.
For international skeet, I am using 7/8oz loads at about 1300fps. The clays move faster, so naturally my shot needs to move faster to keep the same lead for both american and international.
If you do not load your own shells, I found that Remington STS work very well. A lesser budget would dictate the bulk pack at walmart, but they definitly kick harder!!
Asa far as the flinching goes, I would use that excuse to practice a lot more. With enough practice, you wont even blink your eyes when the shot breaks!!
