Five Stand is a shotgun sport similar to sporting clays, trap and skeet. There are five stations, or stands and eight strategically placed clay target throwers (called traps). Shooters shoot in turn at various combinations of clay birds. Each station will have a menu card that lets the shooter know the sequence of clay birds he or she will be shooting at (i.e. which trap the clay bird will be coming from). Typical five stand targets are a rabbit, overhead, standard skeet high house and low house shots, teal (launched straight up into the air), and an incoming bird. There are three presentations at each of your five “stations”: bring extra shells sometimes you may use 30 shells per round.
There are three presentations at each of your five “stations”:
- SINGLE: with two shells loaded, call for the target. One target is thrown (as listed on your menu), and you are allowed two shots to break the bird.
- REPORT PAIR: with two shells loaded, call for the target. One target is thrown, and the second target is thrown upon the sound of your first shot.
- TRUE PAIR: with two shells loaded, call for the bird. Two targets are thrown at the same time. Plan your shots considering the traps being thrown – incoming, outgoing, a rabbit, etc.
You will need 30 shells for a round of Five Stand, but may use less if you do not need to take the second shot (miss) on your Singles.
