Shooting sporting clays is fun, but you need the best shells for 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 other types available, so make sure you check each one for your specific application. We also discuss the pros and cons for each.

Clay shooting shells for high velocity

While there are many benefits to high velocity clay firing shells, there are also some disadvantages. These shells have higher recoil and make it harder to aim. The shooter may find it difficult to collimate on targets that are launched from a lower angle. These drawbacks are easily overcome with high velocity clay shells.

A shotshell which can damage sporting clays has been called the "competitive edge". A composite of high-tech components and state-of-the-art technology, the COMPETITIVE EDGE is able to achieve a high degree of recoil reduction. 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 invented the hull cartridges in early 1990s. These have been well-received by hunters as well as shooters. The Gordon hull's shock-absorbing base wand seals the bottom of its shell casing. It also anchors and secures the end plug tub. The primer seating is provided by the wadding. The Gordon hull's solid structure absorbs any recoil. This results in a flat shot pattern and greater penetration.


The Sporting 100 was designed to replace the Pro Sport. It has evolved into the Graphite variant and is fully optimized to handle clay loads at mid-range. Eley's Superb shotshells once came only in plastic, but they are now also available as fibre wads. These shells offer an excellent range of shot sizes, and are great for competition work. However, they aren't cheap!

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.

Their consistent and high-performance loads make them the preferred choice for trap and sporting clay shooters. The 1-1/8-ounce shot of AA shotshells makes them ideal for high-volume shooting. Winchester AA cartridges are lead-free and completely safe, unlike other brands.

How to choose the Best Deer Rifle
