Sporting Clays is a clay target discipline created to simulate the type of shotgun shooting one might normally encounter while hunting in the field. Unlike conventional clay target shooting where targets all follow regular and standard trajectories from course to course, no two sporting clays ground are the same and no two grounds have the same targets. Targets are thrown in single and double formation, and in combinations of different sizes and at infinitely variable speeds, from angles at all points of the compass around the competitor. The variations of speeds, angles and sweet spots from station to station makes sporting clays a challenging and creative sport requiring a comprehensive skill set of concentration and accuracy.
