There are four major disciplines of competitive clay pigeon shooting (shooting shotguns at clay targets). They are Sporting Clays, Skeet, Trap and Five Stand. These are distinguished roughly as follows:

Skeet shooting, Targets are launched from two "houses" in somewhat "sideways" paths that intersect in front of the shooter.
Trap shooting, Targets are launched from a single "house" or machine, generally away from the shooter at varying angles.
Five Stand, is implemented on a combination Skeet / Trap field.Shooting is from the 16 to 27 yard Trap pads. Nine fixed traps are the nucleus of our throwers However, Additional throwers may also be used. Target presentations include: 40 yd crossers, overheads, true pairs, chandelle and teals.
