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).
