Shooting sporting clays is fun, but you need the best shells for the job. In this article, we'll talk about the Federal engineered High Over All, Winchester AA Super Sport, and Gordon clay shooting shells. There are many different types of sporting clays. Make sure to look into each one depending on the application. We also highlight the pros and cons of each.

Clay shooting shells with high velocity

High velocity clay shooting can have its benefits but also drawbacks. First, high velocity clay shooting shells can have greater recoil making 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 capable of destroying sporting clays is known as a "competitive advantage". 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. This shell is also extremely precise, which leads to 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 are highly respected by hunters and shooters. A shock-absorbing base wad seals the bottom shell casing of the Gordon hull and anchors it to the end plug tube. The primer seating is also 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 first introduced to replace Pro Sport. It has evolved into the Graphite variant and is fully optimized to handle clay loads at mid-range. Eley Superb shotshells were once only available in plastic wad, but now also come in fibre wads. These shells are ideal for competition work because they come in a wide range of sizes and offer a lot of performance. But they're not cheap!

How to build deer blinds

A deer-blind is a type de hunting device used to hide game animals like deer, elk, etc. The blind consists of a small enclosure, usually made of canvas or wood and often covered with branches and leaves. The hunter will hide inside the enclosure while he waits for his animal to pass. A deer blind is often used when hunting at night.

There are many options for deer blinds. Some blinds can be moved easily while others require a permanent structure. These structures are usually made of plywood, cardboard, plastic or canvas and metal.

The most common type of deer blinds is box blinds (also known as box stands). These blinds consist of a box made of wood with walls and a roof. They are easy to construct and move.

A tree stand can also be used as a deer blind. Tree stands look natural and are so natural that nobody would be able to tell they exist. Most tree stands are permanently attached with trees.

Ground blinds are another type. They are similar to tree stands but are built into ground. Ground blinds may be camouflaged with grass or dirt, rocks, or even sand. Ground blinds also sometimes go by the name "ground boxes".

There are many different ways you can hunt in a deer blind. Another way to hunt with a deer blind is to simply wait for it to approach. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. This method can be used if you are unable to remain still and don't move much. This could cause the animal to believe you are a predator and make them run.

You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. Pick a spot where there is no wind to blow your scent towards the animal. Avoid areas that are frequented by hikers.

Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
