The club is one country block away and it's $5 a game. If I was buying the clays it probably wouldn't be much different. Their throwers are a lot faster but much more consistent in pattern. I think it's better for trap. The kid can barely hold the gun up so it helps a lot to know right where it will fly.

Trap? The clays are moving away from you? Or side to side? 

3 at the same time for skeet is crazy fast.

I'm not sure of the distinction. We always called it skeet, but it was a single launcher throwing away.

That's trap, but unless you're in a organized setting, there isn't much of a distinction.  Skeet features multiple launch stations, with a wider range of release angles and differing trajectories.  
I've never shot any at a formal club or range, just with friends on private land and we've always described it as "shooting some clay birds".
