Disciplines

Mid Norfolk has 40 acres of woodland in which we offer some of the best Sporting layouts in the country. As well as this
there are eight purpose built Skeet, DTL and ABT layouts.

However if you are new to shooting then here is an explanation of the shooting disciplines. These can be roughly divided into three main groups:

Sporting The English Sporting discipline has the sport's biggest following. Targets are thrown in a variety of trajectories, angles, speeds, elevations and distances and the discipline was originally devised to simulate live quarry shooting, hence some of the names commonly used on Sporting stands: Springing Teal, Driven Pheasant, Bolting Rabbit, Crossing Pigeon, Dropping Duck, etc. Disciplines in this group include English Sporting, International (FITASC) Sporting, Super Sporting and Compak Sporting.

The targets are thrown at set trajectories and speeds. The main disciplines in this group are English Skeet, Olympic Skeet and American (NSSA) Skeet.
