Having no dog in any fight; I do think the 'any mount' rule was inevitable, advantageous, necessary & healthy for Sporting Clays to have acheived the phenominal growth it has experienced and there are a LOT of people who enjoy shooting in the NSCA sanctioned shoots as well as charity events or simply going out and shooting a new course for an afternoon or weekend. The numbers speak for themselves. The same numbers speak to why it is good to have that rule. Many of these same people do not hunt, they simply enjoy shooting or competition or the company of similar interests as we do here. NSCA is under the same umbrella as NSSA, but w/its own board. There are also many people who are simply skeet shooters, some compete in tournaments others do not. I would much rather have them shooting and enjoying it than not. If I'm shooting skeet w/a field gun I often do better with it just off my shoulder or slightly tucked in as Jack prefers when calling for the bird. Getting to the top of any shooting discipline requires desire, means, effort and time. It also helps to draw well. Better lucky than good, anytime;-) Hahaha. The top shooters make their own luck to some real extent by not making mistakes. Simple means and reasonable opportunity can make for a lot of fun.
Keep it safe.
