The Disciplines we shoot
Down the Line (DTL)
Down-the-line (DTL) or Trap shooting derived from the shooting of live birds originally hand thrown.
Trench
Trench or Olympic Trap requires 15 traps set approx.
Skeet
Skeet was invented both to hone wing-shooting skills for hunting and as a casual recreational sport and as such is recommended as a “first step’ for novice shooters.
Sporting Clays
Sporting (and Compak Sporting) are clay target disciplines developed to simulate the great variance of target possibilities that may be found in the field.
