7 Tips for a Provocative FITASC Referee

FITASC Clay Shooting Explained

FITASC Clay Pigeon Shooting is an internationally recognised form of competitive shotgun shooting that originated in France. It involves shooters targeting clay targets that are launched into the air at varying angles and speeds, simulating the flight paths of game birds. The sport is governed by the Fédération Internationale de Tir aux Armes Sportives de Chasse (FITASC), which sets the rules and standards for competitions worldwide. Participants are required to demonstrate not only accuracy and speed but also a deep understanding of shooting techniques and strategies. With its diverse formats, including Parcours and Trench shooting, FITASC offers enthusiasts a challenging and engaging way to hone their skills while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow shooters.

Unfortunately FITASC have banned anyone from copying there rules but you can find them at RULES

We had an experience day with Guns and Clays recently, our instructor, Richard Halsall gave us a fantastic time. He was a great instructor and made it a very memorable time for both my son and I. He even let my wife have a couple of shots. We didn't stop laughing the whole time and look forward to going back soon for some coaching maybe.

We had out 1st experience of shooting shotguns with Guns & Clays last Sunday and Richard was an exceptional instructor. His patience for myself and my partner as complete novices was remarkable and made us feel at ease using these guns. From the initial walk through instruction to firing the guns at the clays this was a great experience and would definitely recommend Richard to anyone wishing to have a go at clay shooting which is not as easy as first thought but amazing when you nail them with a blast from the shotguns. We used 20 and 12 bore shotguns on the day which was great !!! Well Done Richard !!!

Fun experience. Excellent instructions from Mike. Would go back for more training but first need to build upper body strength.

As a first time shooter I was nervous when I came, I was quickly put to ease after speaking to Mike Williams the instructor. He has a lot of experience, very funny and a great tutor. I missed my first few shots but with the right guidance I managed blast a few clays. Overall I've had a great experience and would definitely recommend anyone to try it.
