shotgun sports

Shotgun sports are competitive activities where participants use shotguns to shoot at moving clay targets, called "clay pigeons," that mimic the flight of birds. These sports include disciplines like skeet, trap, and sporting clays, each with different target launching techniques and angles. The goal is to accurately hit these fast-flying targets, testing skill, accuracy, and timing. Shotgun sports are enjoyed recreationally and competitively worldwide, promoting safety, discipline, and camaraderie among enthusiasts. They also serve as training for bird hunting and foster appreciation for firearm safety and responsibility.
