#Clay

Gould Brothers, well known in the shooting community for shotgun exhibition shooting, have set an incredible new world record. One of the brothers managed to shoot 8 clay targets in the air holding the gun upside down, over his head! Let’s watch the video of that trick shot and some behind the scenes footage.

The terrain where I usually shoot clays is not suited to automobiles. The land is muddy, marshy and without trees to attach a winch. Having gotten stuck there a couple of times in the past I now leave the vehicles at a safe spot and go on by foot. Once loaded up with hundreds of clays and boxes of 12 gauge rounds, not to mention the firearms, nobody wants to carry a heavy clay thrower. So for years I have been using a number of those cheap plastic orange clay throwers (and one even worse slingshot-style thrower). Five months ago I got a  Ball and Buck Edition WingOne Thrower and it is a complete game changer for hand clay throwers like myself.

I own a number of different hand-held clay throwers. I personally prefer the portability of hand throwers over the consistency offered by traditional ground staked or tire mounted throwers. The problem with the hand throwers I own is that I struggle to teach new shooters how to use them. They manage to break about a third of the clays and throw another third of them into the dirt. Maybe a bad workman teacher blames his tools, but I am always on the lookout for better solutions. The Wing One is a new thrower that looks very promising. It is demonstrated in this video …
