I was looking for a place closer to home to shoot some clays and stumbled upon Pine Belt in Shamong. Never really heard much about it on these forums. I'm in Cherry Hill and it's about an hour to Cedar Creek Sporting Clays (where I've been shooting). Pine Belt is about a half hour drive, so I stopped by today. Never saw so many people or a facility that large - they have something like 14 trap houses and 3 skeet fields, all nicely arranged and the entire facility looked top-notch. Maybe there was a tournament today, but it was packed. Lots of cars from out of state and campers, folks tailgaiting. I never shot trap, but I hung out and watched a few rounds. Very different from Sporting Clays. The squad action is rythmic, fast and very quiet (no chatter). Two other observations - while there was a good mix of men and women of all ages, there were a LOT of really old, really good shooters. That and I never saw so many Kreighoff guns in my life in one place. These were definitely no weekend duffers. Anyhow, I'm not sure if trap is for me, but I'd be curious to learn anyone's first hand experience with the club. Can you just go out and practice or do you have to squad up and play every time?
