     Shotgun - Sporting Clays

This is one of the four shooting events. Participants will move through a multiple station Hunter's Clays course. This course is not patterned after conventional skeet and trap shooting, but is designed to simulate hunting conditions and situations. The layout will vary depending on the available topography. Shooting stations could make use of available cover to best depict running animals, bird flight and shooting obstacles.

The Hunting Shotgun Challenge has a maximum possibility of 300 points.

Key Points

Each participant will shoot a total of 30 shots, each worth 10 points for a hit (broken target) and zero points for a miss (lost target).
Participants may only use one shotgun throughout the activity, (exception - gun malfunction).
Any 12- or 20- gauge shotgun will be permitted.
Only factory-loaded target shells with shot size between 7.5 and 9 (inclusive) will be permitted.

... a word of wisdom

Double targets are used in competition, so we encourage you to use a shotgun holding 2 shells.
Practice, practice.
