Question: What is Sporting Clays?
Answer: With is roots coming from England, sporting clays is a shooting game in which clay pigeons are presented to the gunner in ways that resemble the flight pattern of game birds, or occasionally rabbits, in their real world habitats. The shooting grounds are laid out in stations (also called stands or butts) with each station representing one type of bird or a combination of game; a rabbit and a grouse, for example.

At each stand, targets are thrown in pairs, five or so pairs to the stand. Courses consists of several stations, usually five to ten, where 100 targets or more may be presented over the course. Additionally, clays from the same traps may be shot from different positions so that the gunner sees the same target from entirely different angles which creates entirely new shooting schemes. An area presenting pigeons to several stations from a single trap is called a field. You can take part in Sporting Clay action every 4th Sunday at the Langhorne Rod and Gun Club.
