Accuracy

Definition

Accuracy in clay shooting refers to the shooter’s ability to consistently hit clay targets by aligning timing, aim, and technique. It is the measure of how closely the shooter’s shot placement matches the intended target.

 

Further Explanations

Accuracy is not only about hitting the clay but also about doing so with consistency and control. In clay shooting, it depends on several factors:

  • Gun fit: A properly fitted shotgun helps ensure natural aim

  • Lead and timing: Correctly judging the target’s trajectory and when to fire

  • Follow-through: Keeping the swing smooth after the shot

  • Choke and ammunition choice: These affect pellet spread and impact point

Improving accuracy requires both technical training (stance, mount, and swing) and mental focus (concentration and confidence).

Nordic Clays’ gear is designed to help shooters improve accuracy through consistent and realistic practice. Our clay pigeon throwers deliver repeatable flight paths, while our biodegradable clay pigeons provide clear, reliable breaks.
