My first time Trap/Skeet shooting

Today was the first time I ever went trap/skeet shooting, and first time to ever shoot a shotgun. It was a lot of fun and way harder than it looks. We first started at the trap range and I got to shoot an over-under shotgun...not too bad, but has a really strong kick. After the first round, I switched to a semi-auto Benelli. Although the recoil wasn't as bad, I didn't hit as many as the over-under.
We then moved over to the skeet range. That was even better...multiple stations and clays coming from either side. I started with the pump shotgun...funny when the doulbe clays came, almost forgot to pump! So ended up using the over-under again. Even though the over-under has the strongest kick, I think I did the best with it. I'll definitely go again.

Vince hits the clay.
And here he missed.
