Shooting sporting clays is a lot of fun. However, you will need the best shells to do the job. In this article we will be talking about Federal engineered High Over All (Winchester AA Super Sport), and Gordon clay firing shells. There are many types of sporting clays, so be sure that you look at each one to find the right application for your project. Each type is also discussed in detail.
High velocity clay shooting shells
High velocity clay shooting can have its benefits but also drawbacks. First, these shells have a higher recoil which makes it more difficult to aim. The second is that it may be difficult for the shooter to collimate on a target if it is launched from a shallow angle. These drawbacks can be overcome by high velocity clay shooting shells.
A shotshell that can destroy sporting clays is called a "competitive edge". COMPETITIVE ADVANCE is a blend of high-tech components as well as state-ofthe-art technology. This shotshell can achieve a high rate of recoil. The shell is very precise, which results in higher scores. This shotshell is great for people who have limited range.
Gordon clay shooting shells
Gordon developed its revolutionary hull cartridges in the 1990s. These have been well-received by hunters as well as shooters. The Gordon hull features a shock-absorbing base wad that closes the bottom of the shell casing and anchors the end plug tube. The wadding acts as the primer seating. The Gordon hull's solid structure absorbs the recoil, which results in a flatter shot and more penetration.
The Sporting 100 was designed to replace the Pro Sport. It has since evolved into the Graphite version and is fully optimised for mid-range clay loads. Eley Superior shotshells used only to come in plastic wads, but now they also come in fibre wads. These shells have an extensive range of shot sizes and bags of performance, making them ideal for competition work. However, they aren't cheap!
Winchester AA Super Sport
Winchester AA Super Sport shells are designed to shoot sporting clays at greater distances. They are designed to carry heavy loads and large amounts of powder. In addition to these high-quality components, AA Target loads are loaded with copper-plated shot to reduce deformation and increase pattern performance. These loads can be used to hunt both clay birds and upland wildlife at greater ranges.
Winchester AA target shotshells have set the standard for consistency, accuracy, and performance. Because of their consistent shell load, they are the top choice for trap, sporting clays and skeet shooters. The 1-1/8-ounce shot of AA shotshells makes them ideal for high-volume shooting. And unlike other brand's lead-free cartridges, Winchester AA shells are completely lead-free.
Federally engineered High Over All
Federal's High Over All shells offer the best in performance and consistency. These shells include one-eighth ton of #7.5 allsteel shots and have a special wad column. High Over All shotshells provide consistent pattern density and reliable downrange accuracy. These shells provide exceptional value and consistency whether you shoot sporting or high-volume clays.
Federal's Premium high-overall shotshells are made to ensure consistent target shooting performance. Developed with top shooters in mind, Federal's HOA is a superior choice for sporting clays, trap and skeet competitions. The unique Podium wad with a one-piece Podium hull and high-antimony Lead payload gives it the ability to produce consistent patterns. It has a solid brass head, and a tapered, one-piece hull.
