HOW IT WORKS

If you’ve ever watched or played tennis or squash you will have an idea of how Rally Clays works.

There are seven targets in front of two shooting positions.

On a coin toss one shooter chooses a side and the other shooter chooses to either shoot first or second.

The shooter with the honour of shooting first calls pull and target 1 is thrown. You have full use of the gun at this target (two shots only in the gun please semi-auto users).

If you break it, target 2 is immediately thrown for the other shooter also having full use.

If they break it, target 3 is immediately thrown for you and back and forth and so on until you get to target 7.

Target 7 is thrown twice (so you are not always shooting the same birds in the point) and then you go back and forth back down the targets in sequence (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - target 1 is also thrown twice, like 7, and back up through the targets again).

As soon as someone misses a clay, they lose the point.

If you run out of cartridges, you lose the point.

Match winner is most points after 30, 50, 70 or 100 targets (agreed between both players at the outset).
