Sporting clays

What is sporting clays shooting?

Sporting clays is a challenging clay target discipline designed to simulate field shooting.

On a sporting clays course, shooters are presented with a variety of targets that duplicate the flight path of game birds, such as flushing, crossing, incoming and other angling shots.

Courses are laid out in natural surroundings and typically include 15 shooting stations, with shooters moving from one station to the next to complete the course. Each station presents shooters with a different type of shot.

The World Shooting and Recreational Complex has two courses consisting of 15 stations each. One course is set at a challenging level, and the second course is set at a pleasant novice level.

Five-stand shooting can be set up for special events and corporate outings, along with flurry, long bird and doubles.
