Yes, sporting clays are shot here
Aside from the stifling heat and sauna-like humidity, the All-American at Elk Creek in Owenton KY was a winner. There was the novelty of shooting among the vines, rolling hills and woodlands (Elk Creek also makes wine … yes, in Kentucky), and the chance to watch a number of world-class shooters demonstrate the right way to “shoot flying.”
Elk Creek staff were among the most hospitable I’ve experienced (and I’ve had a bit, making our TV series Clay Target Shootout) … answering every question and always willing to offer a golf cart ride to your destination.
Even if you’re a duffer at sporting clays, shoot Elk Creek if you get a chance. [And if you’re a cheap duffer, enter our contest and you might “Win a Shot on the Show” next season. Go to: www.blackswingandclay.com.]

Sounds like fun! I don’t do a lot of clay shooting but because I don’t want to. A combination of being a dad to two tiny kids (five months old and two years), in combination with my preferred shotgun make it hard to make time.
The Shotgun I shoot is a double barrel, 16 gauge, 1939 Fox Sterlingworth that was my grandfather’s. Hardly the right weapon for trap and skeet but I love it more than any other shotgun I’ve used. It gives me the added built in excuse for shooting 15 or 18 when the others are hitting 24 and 25. Hey, It’s a field gun! What do you expect? The bummer is not being able to shoot steel shot through it so it’s either a pricy day at the range or a few hours in the basement, loading.
