Definition
A true pair in clay shooting refers to two clay targets launched at the same time. The shooter must decide the order in which to break them and execute both shots in quick succession before either target hits the ground.
Further Explanations
True pairs are common in sporting clays and are considered one of the more challenging presentations. Since both clays are in the air simultaneously, the shooter has to:
-
Quickly analyze the flight paths
-
Decide which target to engage first
-
Execute smooth transitions between targets
-
Maintain rhythm and avoid rushing the second shot
Unlike an on-report pair, where the second clay is launched after the first shot, true pairs demand faster decision-making and precise gun movement.
While the Nordic Clays TrapMaster does not throw two clays simultaneously, it is ideal for training the speed, timing, and transitions needed for true pair scenarios. By setting up consecutive single launches with our biodegradable clay pigeons, shooters can simulate the pressure of quick back-to-back shots, sharpening the same skills required for breaking true pairs in competition.
