Shot the Friends of the NRA sporting clay fund-raiser today,long and short course,150 targets total. Hit at a 75% rate,not my best but they did put out quite a challenging set-up. One of the field workers about half way into the big course noticed I was shooting a Mossberg 500 pump. Seems the worker and the squad I was with found my speed with my 2nd shot suprising. The puller couldn't tell the difference between me and the other squad members on follow up shots on singles or on doubles. My question is this common? Is the number of O/U and Semi's in Sporting Clays just a nod to the the O/U multi choke advantage and the Semi"s softer recoil? I know I shoot more than most, but given that we are trying to get off "aimed" shots should there be a speed difference in skilled shooters ?
