  • Disciplines

    American Skeet is a popular clay target shooting discipline where shooters aim to break clay targets launched from two machines—one from high and one from low positions—across a semi-circular shooting layout.

    Down-the-Line Trap

    A beginner-friendly clay shooting discipline where targets are launched away from the shooter in a predictable pattern.

    Sporting Clays / 5 Stand

    Often called "golf with a shotgun," this discipline simulates hunting scenarios with varied target presentations across multiple shooting stations.
