davery25, typically #9 shot is used for Skeet and #7-1/2 for trap. Both can be used for clays. The larger shot maintains it's energy longer but there are fewer pellets per ounce. So, it's a trade off between distance and pellet count. Your #9s will work fine for Skeet and the closer clays presentations. Some use #9s for Skeet and 16-yard trap, while others use #7-1/2s for everything. There's also the intermediate sizes of #8 and #8-1/2. Not to worry, after you've been shooting for a while, you'll develop a feel for what to use on which targets.
