DISCIPLINES
At Greetland Shooting Club we shoot a number of different disciplines throughout the year. Fixtures can be found here which includes the discipline we will be shooting that week.
Sporting
The English Sporting discipline has the sport's biggest following. In Sporting almost anything goes! Targets are thrown in a great variety of trajectories, angles, speeds, elevations and distances and the discipline was originally devised to simulate live quarry shooting, hence some of the names commonly used on Sporting stands: Springing Teal, Driven Pheasant, Bolting Rabbit, etc.
Compact
Compact sporting consists of several traps dotted around the layout, this is literally a compact form of a sporting layout. A squad of five shooters stand in their cages and each shooter follows a sequence of 5 targets. The shooters then move on to shoot the sequence from all 5 stands. The sequence consists of a single, a report pair and a simultaneous pair.
Skeet
In Skeet, targets are thrown in singles and doubles from 2 trap houses, a high house and a low house. The traps are at opposite ends of a semicircular arc on which there are seven shooting positions. The targets are thrown at set trajectories and speeds. The squad of six shooters works their way around the 7 stands and each one shoots at 25 targets.
Trap
Trap Shooting
On the last Sunday of each month we travel to another Shooting Ground to shoot either DTL (Down the Line) or ABT (Automatic Ball Trap).
We usually shoot for a club trophy or medal.
