FITASC AT MSSA
What is FITASC Sporting? It’s an international form of sporting clays. Competitors from countries all over the World compete in this discipline and is considered by many as the Formula One in Clay Shooting.
THE DETAILS
Gun position until the target appears, is strictly monitored. The heel of the stock must be touching the body below a horizontal line, 25cm down from the top of the shoulder. This line is always marked on the shooters vest to aid the referee. Typically, this will be embroidered on the vest but it is not unusual to see everything from tape to chalk used for this purpose. If the shooter moves his gun before the target is visible they will be warned immediately by the referee. Repeated instances will result in targets being deducted.
Since shooting does not take place in a cage, the shooter has great freedom of movement and is not restricted in any way. Safe gun handling, whilst always important, is of even higher priority.
FITASC targets are not limited to standard clays and you will see all types, battues, rockets, rabbits and minis, in use. The variety adds considerable interest and makes accurate reading of the target more difficult.
Cartridge load is restricted to 28 grams.
NO PRACTICE MOUNTS ALLOWED – From the time you arrive at the Parcour until completion, there are no practice mounts.
MAXIMUM LOADS – 12-gauge loads are restricted to one ounce of shot. Shot size is restricted to 7-½’s maximum (i.e., 7-½’s or 8’s are fine, 9’s are useless, 6’s are not allowed). There is no restriction on speed (measured in FPS). If shooting a sub-gauge FITASC event, maximum loads are 7/8 ounce for 20-gauge, and 3/4 ounce for 28-gauge.
Trap
2023 Sporting Clays
Skeet
The trap field is set up with five shooting positions. Each shooter shoots five targets per position taking turns with the other shooters in the group. Accuracy is the key here. Targets are thrown at various angles which change randomly. You¹ll never really know if your target will be thrown hard left or straight away. A normal round of trap consists of twenty five targets.
For more information about Trap Tournaments here at MSSA contact Bill Hardison at WEHARD44@gmail.com
Skeet
Wobble Trap
Skeet
The Skeet field presents its own sets of challenging targets. The skeet field is set up with eight shooting positions in a semi circle marked by a green box. A typical round consists of twenty five targets. All targets are thrown from a ‘low house’ or ‘high house’ depending on the station the shooter is on. Shooters get to test their skill at singles, doubles, hard crossers, incoming and outgoing targets.

5-Stand
Wobble Trap
Wobble Trap
This shotgun discipline is similar to Sporting Clays but targets are set up in a circular pattern around a field. Normally there are eight targets which can be thrown as singles, report pair, true pair or following pairs. Five stand is a great place to practice a variety of shots including rabbits, going away targets, hard crossers, etc. You'll see a wide variety of targets at the five stand field. All shooting is done from behind the designated area.
Attention 5-Stand Shooters:
Shooting lights are now available on the MSSA 5-Stand located at the Sporting Clays area.
Wobble Trap
Wobble Trap
Wobble Trap
If you're new to shotguns, this is the place to start. Wobble trap presents all going away targets in a random angle. There are five shooting positions from which to shoot. If fun and breaking a lot or targets is your goal, then this is the shotgun discipline for you.
