History
of Sporting Clays
Sporting Clays is a shotgun sport for the whole family
and an excellent option for business entertaining. With
minimal coaching, even someone who has never shot before
can enjoy a round of Sporting Clays. And the sport offers
opportunities for conversation and fellowship set in the
relaxing outdoors.
Sporting Clays emulates hunting using clay targets instead
of live game. Clay targets can be thrown to simulate the
flight patterns of Pheasant or quail busting out of a
grass covered field low-flying ducks, teal coming off
the water or woodcock zipping through the trees. They
can even replicate the pattern of a hopping rabbit.
The sport was invented in England in the early part of
this century to provide wing shooting practice using targets
that represented different game birds. It became a stand
alone sport as actual game hunting in England diminished.
Sporting Clays was imported to the United States in the
mid-1980s where it has enjoyed growing popularity across
all segments of American society, with the fastest growing
segment being women.
The game is comparable to golf in two ways. Just as a
golfer goes from hole to hole, a Sporting Clays shooter
goes from one station on the course to another. At each
station, the shooter encounters a different kind of shot
which mirrors the wild game of the area. The second way
the sport compares to golf involves the course. The layout
and design of the Sporting Clays grounds depends on the
natural habitat and terrain of the area, providing each
course with its own challenges and character.
Sporting Clays takes shooting one step farther than its
cousin shooting sports, Skeet and Trap, by removing the
predictability of the clay's path and offering the shooter
variety that changes at each station. This makes the sport
challenging enough to be stimulating, but it is not so
difficult that it becomes discouraging. A shooter does
not need to have a brilliant score to get a terrific amount
of satisfaction. |
