A few days ago there was a break in our cold snowy winter weather and it warmed to about 40 degrees. Along with two friends, Ray and Carter, we decided to enjoy it with a round of sporting clays at  Hopkins Hunting and Sporting Clays.  It is conveniently located in Kennedyville, a centrally located town in Kent County.

They have 28 automated stations overlooking ponds, fields, ravines, and woods. We like that you can shoot without having a guide to pull the traps. At the front desk Linda gives you an electronic device you plug into each station to throw one clay at a time, or two simultaneously.  Shooting on report is also fun; that is when you shoot at the first target and as soon as the report is heard, the second target is released.

We do not keep score…
