Sporting clay shooting is a form of clay pigeon shooting. Described as “golf with a shotgun,” the sport differs from trap and skeet shooting in that:
- It is often considered to be more difficult than trap or skeet.
- It involves shooting clay targets at multiple locations (called stations).
- Unlike trap and skeet, which are games of repeatable target presentations, sporting clay targets are thrown from clay throwing machines in a variety of trajectories, angles, speeds, elevations, and distances.
Originally, sporting clay shooting was used to create an experience that reflects actual hunting conditions. Top-tier trap and skeet professionals may hit ratings nearing 100%, but the best sporting clay shooters hit their targets about 94% of the time. Although the sport can be challenging, it is popular with both novice shooters and experienced hunters.
