As a not-for-profit organisation, it is operated by its dedicated members who are passionate about promoting the sport at all levels. The association aims to provide entertaining and safe experiences for clay shooters, creating a community of competitive and recreational shooters.
Sporting Clays is a discipline of clay pigeon shooting that simulates real-life hunting situations. Clay targets of varying sizes are thrown from trap machines at different angles, trajectories, elevations, speeds, and distances, resembling the unpredictability of hunting. A typical course consists of 10 to 15 unique stations set up over natural terrain, earning it the nickname “golf with a shotgun”. The target setter has the freedom to create a wide range of target presentations to challenge the shooters and ensure the conservation of the course.
This variation makes Sporting Clays an exciting and entertaining sport for participants of all ages and skill levels.
Sporting Clays Australia offers various benefits for its members, including access to competitions, events, and exclusive merchandise. The association also provides firearms insurance for its members, ensuring their safety and protection during shooting activities.
