What is
Sporting Clays?
Sporting clays is a shotgun shooting game in which clay pigeons
are presented to the gunner in ways that mirror the flight
pattern of game birds, or occasionally rabbits, in their natural
habitats. The shooting grounds are laid out in stations, with
each station representing one type of bird or a combination of
game; a rabbit and a grouse, for example. At each station, clay
pigeons are thrown in pairs or singly. A course consists of
several different stations, with a total of 50 or 100 targets.
Sometimes birds from the same traps may be shot from different
positions, so the gunner sees the same target from entirely
different angles, which creates entirely new shooting
presentation. With variations in trap position, trap speed,
shooting position, and flight paths of different types of target
size, targets can come through the trees, straight down, over
your head, quartering, going away, left to right, right to left,
and in any path a real bird might choose. It's a great way to
prepare for bird season!

"I truly want to express my appreciation for the staff:
target setters and especially the trappers. I travel all
over the world shouting and shooting - nowhere surpasses
your team as genuine and lovable people (especially the
girls), even the lady who gave me such a hard time about my
losing 3 meal cards. It is rare to have the warmth and good
fellowship. People were genuinely happy when someone did
well (except me who really was offended by those who beat
me). Prices were right. I am a certified target setter and I
applaud those targets. Key is: were they all hittable? and
they were. Love you all - you made my summer..." ~ Doc the
