English Sporting is without doubt the most popular clay shooting discipline in the UK. There are a huge number of Sporting competitions at clay shoots across the country each week.

What makes English Sporting such an exciting clay shooting discipline is the fact that there are no limits to the types and variations of targets. Even the weather conditions can have a dramatic impact on how targets are presented.


You’ll see familiar targets such as bolting rabbits and driven pheasant, but trap design has progressed so much that course builders have an incredible array of target types at their disposal. This means they can be very innovative (and more than a little devious!) in how they set the course. You are unlikely to ever see two targets the same, which make this clay shooting discipline so addictive!


The Sporting Layout at Countryman Fairs events is also the qualifying competition for the Mitsubishi Motors World Series Clay Shooting Championship. This ground breaking competition offers shooters of all abilities a real chance to win the biggest prize in clay shooting, a brand new Mitsubishi L200 Trojan worth over £20,000!
