Sporting clays
Sporting Clays, like trap and skeet, uses traps and clay targets to duplicate, as far as possible, conditions and presentations you would normally find while hunting. A typical sporting course is laid out over a 10, 20, or 30 acre site, ideally in rough, hilly terrain. Targets are thrown from 10 to 14 shooting stations along the path. Courses can be laid out with either automatic or manual traps, usually set out-of-sight. Six different types of targets can be used: standard, midi, mini, battue, rocket, or rabbit. Target sequence may incorporate singles, report pairs, following pairs, and true (simultaneous) pairs. A round usually consists of 50 or 100 targets. The shooter's gun must be visible below the armpit and may not be mounted until the target is visible.
