5 STAND SPORTING CLAYS

We shoot a Clay sport known as 5 – Stand Sporting Clays. It is neither Sporting Clays or Trap. “If you were to put Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays in a blender, Five Stand would pour out.” It features a line of five "stands" for shooters and a number of launchers arranged in front of the shooters, to their sides and even behind them. Shooters are presented five targets at each station, 25 targets in all.

Five Stand is more exciting than Trap, and throws a wider variety of patterns than Skeet. It's faster and cheaper than Sporting Clays. For hunters, it's a great game, giving you the chance to work on shots simulating everything from fleeing rabbits and flushing to quail to ducks dropping into a set of decoys.

 

Our field has six different traps (target throwers) involved in our 5-Stand operation. Each trap has a unique presentation from rolling rabbits, chondelles, battues to springing teal, and also includes incoming, outgoing, quartering-away, quartering-in and other angled targets. Presentations vary weekly, as directed by the Range Safety Officer (RSO).

 

Up to 5 shooters participate in a round and shoot at each of the 5 stations. On the first pass at each stand, the shooter gets a single target from one of the numbered presentations. Next, each shooter gets what is known as a Report Pair of targets. This is where after the first shot is fired, the second target is released. On the third and final pass on each stand, the shooter receives a True Pair of targets with both targets thrown simultaneously. Each shooter then moves to the next stand. That’s a total of 5-targets at each of the 5 stands for 25 total clays per round.
