Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Hog hunt

There is a difference between Skeet shooting, Trap shooting, Sporting Clays shooting, International Skeet, International Trap, Doubles Trap and Bunker Trap.

They all use clay birds. All are vastly different than someone going out to the "Back Forty" and shooting thrown clay birds from a hand trap too.

Look them up and see what the differences are. The one that was initially brought to market to mimic hunting situations is Sporting Clays.

Then you get into the "Protection" shoots or "Annie Oakley" shoots, those are fun! The others are fun too, but I think actual skeet shooting is boring after a while.

If you want to drop a hog in it's tracks, shoot it in front of the shoulder, about 1/3 down from the top of it's back, where the skin makes a vertical crease when the hog moves it's head from side to side. A bullet there breaks the spine and they drop in their tracks. A bullet in the ear will do the same thing, but the crease doesn't move as much as their head does.
