Been shooting the local course a bit this winter. First 10 stations are relatively easy. I kind of prefer those for my skill set. The other 10-12 stations have a number of much farther shots, smaller targets, all black targets, etc. That one crushes my ego.
I switched over to skeet chokes last time out and actually did better. Need to get the recoil pad added to my current shotgun to pick up some lop. I think sporting clays is going to be great for my field shooting this fall.
For me it is LM/LM. Many disagree, but up close the pattern hasn't opened much anyway. Point well and they all will brake targets close and far.
It will most definitely help your field shooting. It will help it much more if you shoot everything gun down. Practice getting a solid consistent mount and ignore the miss me beads as much as possible.
