These are the basics one needs to be able to hit a moving object.
Don't think there's anything electronic out there to practice with, other than video games.

Skeet is shooting at clay pidgeons flying at, from, and across from you as either singles or doubles, from 8 stations in a 1/2 moon shape.
Trap is shooting at clays from 5 linear stations that are flying away from you at 5 different angles.
Sporting clays is an exciting sport that you walk the course (usually through the woods), and the targets range in size, presentations, speed, and other things (that depends on the course). You should have a variety of shells and choke tubes for this. And in the summer months, bring water.
5-Stand is like a mini sporting clays course. Alot of fun.
