When I lived on the East Coast and had oodles of sporting clays courses in a 1-2 hour driving range my wife and I shot almost every weekend. Warm up on a skeet field (not actually shooting a round, just working on some target presentations), and then doing a couple of rounds of sporting clays.

I am a SxS man through and through and I got a Fabarms Golden Lion 12 gauge specifically for a SxS clays and occasional waterfowl gun. Its not the most elegant gun, but its a double trigger, SxS that is built like a tank!

My wife really got into it: I had her do a gun fitting and got her a little O/U Beretta 20 gauge. She even got to a point where she went bird hunting with me etc.

Now, in Hawaii we only have two sporting clays ranges and they are on other islands than where I live. So I only get to shoot it 2-3 times a year when I go to Lanai to hunt deer. I do miss it. However, we do have excellent wild upland bird hunting so its a good trade off
