Sporting Clays Keep You in the Hunt

Major League Baseball players hone their skills in spring training. It’s a time to play in games that closely replicate those held during the regular season.

Hunters have a similar shot at perfecting their skills, although they’re not limited to springtime in Florida or Arizona. Their “practice field” is a sporting clays course, with hundreds spread around the country.

Sporting clays mimic the flights of various birds. Having multiple sporting clays released at the same time at different heights and angles, for example, is perfect training for a flock of ducks taking flight. On a broader scale, shooting sporting clays helps with reflexes, decision-making, aim, accuracy, and patience— all traits that are key to successful bird hunting.

Furthermore, there’s the chance to develop a closer kinship with your gun and treat it with the kind of tender loving care normally reserved for a significant other, practice a variety of shooting techniques, and try different methods to achieve optimum results. Just as with hunting ammunition, using reliable shooting ammo ensures consistent performance.

Then, when the regular season begins and the quarry is live, you can call on that muscle memory developed on the sporting clays course and have a multi-hit day.
