100 TARGET SPORTING LAYOUT

The 100 target Sporting Layout is shot over 6 stands. Because of the increasing numbers attending the club, we felt it only fair that in order to reduce waiting times an extra stand has been installed.

The sporting stands are in the same place every week, so as to keep things familiar for people who have only been once or twice, this also has the advantage of increasing the safety of the ground.

Although the stands stay in the same place our targets change weekly, and if there is a particular target that you wish for us to put on then just ask, if it is possible at our ground to do so we will.

What are Sporting targets ?

Sporting Clay targets are the closest thing to actual field shooting of all the shotgun disciplines.

The sport dates back to the early 1900s when trap shooting used live pigeons. With the introduction of clay targets, the sport began to take on the popular form known today.

But rather than using standardised distances, target angles and target sizes, sporting clays courses are designed to simulate the hunting of ducks, pheasants and even rabbits.

Sseveral different types and sizes of clay targets give the participant the experience of actual hunting conditions, so you can see why the sport is so popular with game and rough shooters.
