Field shooting

Definition

Field shooting refers to shooting practice or hunting carried out in open, natural environments rather than at a formal shooting range. In clay shooting, it typically means practicing with portable equipment outdoors, simulating real-life hunting scenarios.

 

Further Explanations

Field shooting emphasizes adaptability, since conditions change constantly in outdoor environments. Factors such as terrain, wind, light, and natural obstacles affect both the clay’s trajectory and the shooter’s performance.

Characteristics of field shooting:

  • Carried out in open fields, forests, or rural areas

  • Targets may simulate natural bird or rabbit movements

  • Requires portable equipment like manual or battery-powered throwers

  • Offers varied and realistic training compared to fixed-range shooting

For many shooters, field shooting is both a training method and a way to enjoy the outdoors.

Nordic Clays was founded with field shooting in mind. Our TrapMaster is a lightweight, battery-powered clay pigeon thrower designed for portability, making it easy to use anywhere. Paired with our biodegradable clay pigeons, it creates an eco-friendly and flexible solution for outdoor training.
