Clay pigeon shooting, also known as clay target shooting,  is the art of shooting at special flying targets, known as clay pigeons or clay targets, with a shotgun or any type of firearm. The terminology commonly used by clay shooters often relates to times past, when live-pigeon competitions were held. Although such competitions were made illegal in the UK in 1921, a target is still called a 'target' or 'bird', a hit is referred to as a 'hit' or 'kill', a missed target might be described as a 'bird away' and the machine which projects the targets is known as a 'trap'.

The English Sporting discipline has the sport's biggest following. While the other disciplines only use standard targets, 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, Crossing Pigeon, Dropping Duck, etc.

Clay Pigeon Shooting is one of the most popular outdoor sporting acitvities for team building or client entertainment in the UK. A corporate shooting event competition will feature a given number of stands (dependant on the number of guests) each of which has a predetermined number of targets, all travelling along the same path and speed, either as singles or doubles.
