aTm papi, most folks use a grip, or pistol grip stock for clay target work. Some like a straight stock -- they usually have a classic style SxS. You don't want to try shooting targets with a detached pistol grip or pistol grip only (PGO) stock. There is a misunderstanding because many newer shooters are unaware of stock nomenclature. In the world of plastic stocked Mossberg 500s and Remington 870s the term pistol grip stock is often used to denote a detached pistol grip or AR style stock. The term pistol grip goes way back and was initially used to distinguish grip stocks from classic straight, or English, stocks. The majority of shotguns sold in the US are of the pistol grip style. With tactical specific shotguns came the introduction of detached pistol grip and pistol grip only stocks. To avoid confusion, when using the term pistol grip remember to include detached (or full) or only as applicable, otherwise you're talking about a conventional stock.
