Love it! My favorite place is Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays, down your way.
I've got a trap thrower. Do I count?
I just drive 5 minutes down the road, set the thing up and shoot all day.

I used to shoot poor defenseless birds and eat them with special sauces.
Now I shoot clay disks.
I'm not member of a Sporting Club anymore.
Chris142, what type/brand/cost of hucker do you have?

I got into shooting SC's in late 1997 and really fell in love with the sport. However as of late I've fallen out due to college and my job. After shooting for a few weeks my father and I both bought new SC Beretta over and unders, 686 Silver Pigeon and 687EELL Diamond Pigeons. I had been shooting and bird hunting all my life so I was naturally pretty good and went on to win many West Virginia State Championships....
1998 WV Sub Jr Champion
1999 WV JR Champion
1999 WV D Class Champion
2000 WV JR Champion
2000 WV D Class Champion
2000 WV 3rd High Overall Champion
I've also participated at the 99 @ 2000 Seminole Cup shoots in Orlando, FL with shooters from all over the country and the world ending up with top 10 finishes in the JR Division and D Class.
My local shooting course was Hunting Hills SC in Dilliner, PA. I've shot a few times over the past years but am really thinking about getting back into the sport.

LOL,
there was a case here where a farmer had some friends out, and wanted to shoot some clays.
So they approached the local Police, and recieved what they believed was permission.
A little while after they started, the flashing lights turned up, and nailed them for not being a licenced shooting range.
I think that they go off, but after considerable money/time/effort.
I didn't think they still let people own shotguns in Australia. Do you have to keep them at a licensed range?
My favorites are:
1. Browning Gold 12 ga.- 15,000 rounds with exactly 1 malfunction on my 207th shot of the day with DIRTY Federal Wal Mart shells
2. Browning 425-A dream to shoot with 7/8 oz. of #9 shot and 16.1 grains of Hodgon Clays powder.
3. Benelli M1 Super 90-7 shot mag. Perfect for falling plate matches.

Don,
yep, we can have shotguns. No Pumps or Semi-autos (I think Politicians watch too many movies), but singles, doubles, bolt action, and lever action are all OK.
10 gauge an larger is illegal also.
Nope, you can keep them in your home, inside a safe that weighs 150kG, or is bolted to the structure of your house with a minimum of 4 1/2"x2.5" coachbolts.
You must either have a signed statutory declaration by a farmer that you are shooting vermin on his property, or be in a club and attend 4 shoots per year to be elligible for a licence...licences for clays will not allow you to shoot rabbits.
The authorites recently put a lot of effort into trying to take down Michael Diamond (Olympics gold medalist, and I beleive the ONLY reason that there are guns still in Australia). They couldn't get him, and he's now competing in Athens later this year.

Never been to Lehigh, but intend to this year. I have shot at Blue Ridge, Carlisle, Steelstown, Palmyra, Richfield, Kreamer, Minersville,Elstonville (maybe a couple others I can't remember). The PA state shoot is at Blue Ridge this year. I would love to buy a Perazzi MX2000, but the wife may not like the idea.
I also have a Browning Gold which has only malfunctioned 1 time and I enjoy shooting it...but my favorite is my 30" GTI (95 vintage) with Briley chokes.
