At the local clubs where I shoot Clays, probably 90%+ of the shooters are "hunters" (and/or Good Ole' Boys) rather than formal SC competitors. We/They shoot for fun, comraderie,and to sharpen hunting skills. Sometime we shoot to see who will buy dinner.

Most use pre-mount on sporting clays. If one hunts ducks, doves, or upland birds over pointing dogs, a pre-mount is the most common shot taken. I don't think most shooters care what the official rules mandate -- they are at the range to do it their way.

Most of the local ranges would go bankrupt if they depended upon the "match shooters."
