What's you favorite type of shooting?? Have to say, I enjoy clays a lot, but it can get a bit pricey. Skeet would be next for me, although I have never tried trap shooting.

A brief overview of skeet: You have 2 houses that throw clays, each has a low house & a high house. As it sounds, the clay comes out low from the low house & higher from the high house(2 different windows that clays are thrown from). You move around a course of 8 stations and shoot a low house and a high house from each station.

Brief overview of sporting clays: A typical course will consist of 10–18 stations. Varying numbers of clay pairs are shot at each station, with the total shots for an outing adding up to 50 or 100 (two or four boxes of shells, respectively). Advanced shooters have the clays thrown as simultaneous pairs (called true pairs), while novice or intermediate shooters can have the clays thrown on report (the second clay launched on the report of the shooter's gun, hence the name report pair). You can also opt to have the clays thrown when you call "pull". Targets are thrown at different angles and speeds; sometimes across the shooter's view (crossers), towards the shooter (in-comers), away from the shooter (out-goers), or straight up in the air (often called "teals"). The shots are intended to simulate hunting for quail, grouse, pheasant, pigeon, or other game. Many courses have traps which throw targets from tall towers simulating high-flying ducks or geese.[3] Some courses have targets that roll and bounce along the ground to simulate rabbits. There are also targets, called 'battues', that loop in the air — this does not simulate any particular animal, but it is usually a challenging target.

I've never shot trap, so I cannot answer that one....maybe dknappy can. I know 5-stand is similar to sporting clays w/o the walking........gunners move to 5 different stations, clays are thrown in a variety of ways from different houses, incoming, outgoing, some have a "teal" or rabbit even. Generally you get a single thrown on your first pass....then a "report" pair (second thrown upon the report of your gun) on your second pass, then on your third pass, you get a true pair. This makes 25 clays to a round.

Trap is thrown from one house located in the center of the field. The trap trows birds in 5 different position on a random basis. There are 5 stations and 5 shots per station. There is also hadi cap trap where yu shoot from 16--25 yds from the house dependent on your average. that is the short version. There is also bunker trap and whobbler and all are shot either High Gun (U.S.) or Low Gun ( International )
