Clay Shooting

Clay shooting, also known as clay pigeon shooting, is a shooting sport in which participants use a shotgun to shoot at clay targets launched into the air from a trap. The targets, made of clay, are thrown in various directions and at different heights to simulate the flight of birds. The goal is to break the clay target with the shot. Clay shooting is typically done at a shooting range or on private land. It is a popular sport for recreational shooters as well as competitive shooters.
