Instructor teaching lesson to studentWant to hit more clay targets and improve your sporting clays skills? Whether you’re a beginner looking to break more clays or an experienced shooter fine-tuning your technique, these expert tips will help you succeed at Etowah Valley Sporting Clays.

  1. 💥 Keep Your Eyes on the Target
    One of the biggest mistakes in clay shooting is focusing on the shotgun barrel instead of the target. Your eyes should track the clay target from the moment it launches to the second you pull the trigger.
  1. 💥 Move Smoothly with the Target
    Sporting clays require a fluid, natural movement. Avoid jerky motions—stay in sync with the target’s speed and direction for a cleaner shot.
  1. 💥 Find Your Ideal Shooting Stance
    A solid stance gives you better balance and control. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, lean slightly forward, and position your weight on the front foot for stability.
  1. 💥 Follow Through Every Shot

Protect Your Ears, Protect Your Eyes – Why Safety Gear is a Must at Etowah Valley Sporting Clays

By | Clay Shooting, Rules and Safety, Skeet Shooting, Sporting Clays, Trap Shooting, Uncategorized

Sporting clays is all about precision, focus, and skill—but before you start breaking clays, let’s talk about something just as important: safety. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, protecting your hearing and vision should always be a top priority.

Why Ear & Eye Protection Matter👂 Hearing protection is a must – Gunshots can be over 140 decibels—that’s louder than a jet engine! Without protection, just one round could cause permanent hearing damage.
👀 Your eyes need protection, too – Clays breaking and flying debris can be a real risk. Wearing safety glasses ensures your eyes stay sharp and focused on the next target.

Choosing the Right Gear
✔️ Earplugs or earmuffs? – Both work, but earmuffs provide better overall protection and are a great option for beginners.
✔️ Glasses – Clear, yellow, or tinted lenses all help enhance visibility while keeping your eyes safe from stray fragments.

Safety First, Fun Always
At Etowah Valley Sporting Clays, we take safety seriously—because the only thing better than breaking clays is doing it safely and confidently.

💥 Gear up, stay safe, and let’s hit the courses!
