Sporting Clays is a clay target sport created to simulate hunting situations.  There is no standard for target presentation and every course is different.  

Targets can be a variety of different specialty birds ranging in sizes and shape, or targets made to simulate rabbits.  Variations in trap setup and position allow targets to be thrown incoming, outgoing, over head, teal, and a variety of other presentations limited by imagination.

Shooters will shoot from a variety of stations setup on the course with each station providing a set of presentations.  All shooters will shoot one station before proceeding to the next station.
