Normal
I never shot sporting clays a lot but I did notice when I shot a lot of trap, I was a more consistent shooter in the field on birds. I don't know if it was just the practice of shouldering the gun and making sure I kept my head down or just sharpening the hand eye coordination with a shotgun. I would guess its like any firearm, the more you practice the better you are even if it's just at standard targets. I purchased a couple new 22's this year just for cheaper plinking ammo and a reason to shoot more hoping it will help with other pistol and rifle shooting.
