Clay Pigeon Shooting
Clay target shooting, more formally known as the Inanimate Bird Shooting, is the skill of shooting guns at flying targets called clay pigeons or targets. It is an alternative to live pigeon shooting, which has been made illegal in the UK since 1921. The targets are called ‘birds’, a hit may be called a ‘kill’ and a missed shot is called a ‘bird away’. ‘Trap’ is the machine that projects the targets.
Those harbouring a fondness for guns can use various types in this sport and kill two birds with one stone (no pun intended). The sport uses a shotgun, and the type is often a personal choice. Most go with the traditional shotguns to add an extra something to the challenge, while semi-automatic guns have been making appearances over the last decade.
The targets are not actually clay pigeons; disappointing right? But nonetheless, the inverted saucer-shaped targets pose a challenge that cannot be handled by many. It is thrown at high speed but can easily be broken when hit by just a few lead pellets. The targets can easily be seen as they are usually fluorescent orange or black in colour. All the disciplines use shotguns. While at Guns and Clays Shooting School, we give everyone a chance to use other rifles, to let them participate at their own comfort and choice. Target speeds and trajectories can be modified to suit the type of shooting desired, but that happens once you get into the spirit of clay pigeon shooting.
