Definition
A quartering target is a clay pigeon that flies at an angled trajectory across the shooter's field of view, typically moving diagonally away or toward the shooter rather than straight on or directly overhead.
Further Explanations
Quartering targets simulate real-world bird flight paths, making them a key component in sporting clays and field-style training. Unlike straight-away or crossing targets, quartering clays challenge a shooter's:
-
Depth perception
-
Lead timing
-
Focus on angle and distance
Quartering clays can be:
-
Quartering away: Flying at an angle and gradually increasing in distance.
-
Quartering in: Angling toward the shooter, requiring quicker reflexes.
Mastering these shots is crucial for improving your versatility and accuracy in dynamic shooting environments.
The TrapMaster by Nordic Clays is engineered to launch clays in randomized, multi-directional paths, including quartering angles. This means shooters can practice with a variety of trajectories that replicate real-life bird flight, all while using our eco-friendly clay targets for sustainable, high-performance training.
