We INVENTED a new shooting sport!? Rally Clays!

[@KanonOC]

i feel like programming the sequence in a small logic computer and just have "hit" or "miss" buttons for the button pusher is probably a good idea. hit triggers the next clay and the miss stops sequence and gives a point to the winner. cool concept. hope to see it grow

[@tgsoutdoors]

That is a fantastic idea

[@chaimafaghet7343]

@@tgsoutdoors Seems like a job for Arduino or the like. You probably know someone who can rig it up, it's not rocket surgery.

[@KanonOC]

or a raspberry pie and some relays. and wire them into the remotes. that would also enable you to do silly stuff like dubbles to in some cases force dubble loading

[@chaimafaghet7343]

@@KanonOC Pretty much anything'll do the job here, the important thing is doing it for under 20 quid.

[@rogersmith8339]

With a little more tech the hit or miss decision could be made by the computer controller.

American shooter here... ESPN used to have a clay target competition that resembled that...was fun to watch...doubles usually reloaded (fully) after the clay was broken... semi-auto's were limited to 3 shot capacity, keep topping off the magazine at every opportunity, if ya run dry,toss one in the chamber & take your time... great game... even non-shooters would enjoy the spectacle....

[@dsharif3575]

Leave it to the people that created cricket to complicate shooting a shotgun. Jk seriously this looks like loads fun, and we love your channel over here in the USA

[@nickaylor8481]

When there is a bunch of us we play a game we call “Elimination”. Group lines up and the 1st one yells pull and gets 1 shot at the clay. Breaks it 2nd one gets to call pull on a throwing of dealers choice (button pusher). If the 1st one misses, 2nd gets the attempt and on down. If no breaks it goes to the 2nd to yell pull. If the clay makes it to the 4th then 1,2,3 shooters are eliminated. It goes quick and fast reloading is important because the one up does not have to wait for the line to be ready to yell pull. Try it out sometime.

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

The only time I've ever seen televised Clay Shooting (other than Olympics and Commonwealth Games) was a TV show called Starshot back in the Eighties. I remember Jackie Steward being a driving force behind it and it starred plenty of other Celebrity faces shooting clay targets against the backdrop of a massive metal frame in the shape of a dartboard. I seem to remember them using white clays and shooting at night under floodlights. Always looked like great fun to me.

[@redduc9523]

I do hope it catches on, I was a blast to shoot!! Thanks for having me around for the inaugural game!! My brain still hurts from the team game 🥴🥴😂🤣

[@tgsoutdoors]

Your a rally clays world champ in the making

[@willmakesvids]

this looks like a cracking idea! I don't see why this couldn't be televised! Two cameras following the clays, one wide angle fixed behind the stands, two roaming cams filming over the shoulder of the shooters.

[@The_Devil_Riser]

If only you could livestream from a shot cam it would make for good tv seeing a wide angle and from the shot cam with slow-mo replays

[@willmakesvids]

@@The_Devil_Riser trouble is that to get a high enough Res image for transmission you'd need something a lot better than shotkam and also a cable/wireless system to send the feed.

[@The_Devil_Riser]

@@willmakesvids yeh I know , that’s kind of what I meant when I said it’s a shame you can’t livestream from it , not just physically can’t but also the things you mentioned

[@willmakesvids]

@@The_Devil_Riser the best compromise would be a "shooter cam" whereby there's a camera following each gun at the correct angle to see the movement and kill

[@The_Devil_Riser]

@@willmakesvids defiantly , I watch issf and they are really poor at it , asking as you can see the lead and movement it would be good

[@D33Lux]

Good vid. 4:10 Never put your firearm barrel into the ground like that, if you get a stone stuck in there you can have an obstruction. When you shoot, it will blow up the barrel.

[@zim3900]

He likely has the barrel resting on top of his foot, common practice at the skeet ranges I've been to, though I disagree with it.

[@perfecttofu421]

we used to do this at the end of the day when the field is closing and we over payed for clays so we just have to rapid fire through the rest. Literally had one guy press the button as fast as it would go and try to hit as many as possible going down the line. lots of fun! Great video :)

[@garethandrews3264]

All it will take is for one competition day to be hosted for "Rally Clays", that'll spur the excitement for it and it'll be popping up all over as an event

[@alangreen5858]

Reminds me of the "batteuse espagnol " we shoot here occasionally in france (three simultaneous clays and two shooter team 30 clays in total launching virtually non stop) perhaps known as a two man flush in the uk? it is an absolute hoot! A good tip for the reload is have a baggy skeet jacket pocket and place your cartridges in the pocket as many as possible vertically with the primers upwards when you reach in you can grab two easily at the same moment and they are ready to chamber straight away. With practice you an get pretty quick at it and not miss due to late loading at least..... This new discipline/game you have invented looks even better should catch on I hope, I'll certainly suggest it at our club.

[@JRock3091]

As an American hunter at a young age, bird and venison. I never shot clay. I have morfed into a tactical shooter for work. But fundamentals of bird hunting and the snap reflects necessary for it. Has morphed into every other tactical application of shooting.

[@Redlegwar]

Good times! Thanks for Sharing!

[@shanestewart9528]

Sounds great fun and that is what it's all about having fun with your friends and others you meet doing it.

[@Pineyhunter]

Absolutely brilliant, this would go over great in the U.S.

[@biagiocozza8875]

Another great shooting video Johnny. This looks like a lot of fun. Seems like there was a lot of banter between you guys. That makes it fun.

[@johnwood551]

Try Sporting Clays like here in the States. multiple traps all over a large area with clays coming out at different heights ,angles, directions even rolling across the ground to simulate rabbits or ground game.

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

Very cool! I like it a lot 🔥

[@bertraminc9412]

Brilliant!

[@jeffw1246]

Local trap and skeet club did some fun once. Stand on top of trap house with no elevation on thrower,,clays came out just a foot or so off the ground. Only about a half second to hit before it grounded itself. On skeet start at station 8 low house normal spot and get closer with every bird, ducking pieces of hit birds as you got too close for safety. That was a fun day.

[@RobGreenside]

Awesome- and in the rain too. Great video and cool new clays challenge !!

[@felixd7818]

Thanks for the ideas. This can be applied at small clubs without using a lot of revenue.

[@batmantiss]

I love it

[@ronwilson3414]

Now that be fun. We do a 30 bird flurry with 2 shooters. Every 7 seconds 3 birds.

[@Blondejam]

Looks like a fab day out! Well done lads!

[@johnf650dakar]

Looks like a lot of fun. I’d leave the speed loaders and only allow game style cartridge belts of plain jacket pockets

[@chillyb2285]

Ok I have watched this like three times I need this written out so I can try and explain this at the club

[@simonreinhold_co_uk]

2 shooters First to miss loses the point Single target; full use of gun To be thrown in sequence A - G Shooter 1 shoots target A to start When / if it breaks, target B is immediately thrown for Shooter 2 who has full use of gun The sequence continues to G alternating between shooters The first to miss loses the point First to 10 points wins the match Additional info Change sides when one shooter reaches 5 points If target G is broken then the sequence reverses back to A

[@hammyh1165]

Looks like fun 👍. You need to find a working Starshot game now 😁

[@cameronduveax282]

I remember watching Star Shot as a kid. On BBC 2!!! 😮

[@gregmontague4349]

I am going to get this going at our club this week. Time to compete across the pond.

[@jasonskinner5220]

Sounds fun , we do a sudden death game "like basketball sudden death" first person shoots and if he misses the second person gets a shot at the missed target , if the second person misses , no problem if the second person hits the target the first person is out and so on until one person is left. you can also add in shooters on the sideline if you have more than 5 shooters to the spot where one person is nocked out. lots of fun and fast moving . caution you will go through a ton of ammo. its a blast.

[@CrazyDog651]

A 2+1 semi auto would go really well in this especially with an IPSC belt.

[@Revs110]

amazing video and ideas as always ,great fun and banter keep it going boys

[@willie9899]

This looks like a LOT of fun. I think this would be a great reason to pick up something like the DP-12 with it's 14+2 capacity, or better yet, a mag-fed.

[@davesmith4196]

You fancy Britts with your expensive over/under shotguns need some less expensive/fancy semi autos or even pump shotguns to let you top up. Another variation is to have a team of 2-5 and throw 25 birds 1 or 2 at a time randomly (easy shots like these). Score is how many hit the ground unbroken. Team with low score wins. We do this in US with church outings and such as poorer new shooters can play and be helped by 1 or 2 good shooters per team. Good for beginners.

[@cyclopticclaybuster]

Looks like fun but I'm amazed and quite disturbed that the lack of eye protection is tolerated on an established range while making a video for the world to see.

[@gnarshread]

Looks like lots of fun!

[@MrCabimero]

Brilliant! Love it. So question- are the first two shooters shooting against each other or are they a team?

[@Maybenxt_time]

I think having a semi automatic would be the way to go. Have 3 rounds in the gun and learn how to speed load 1 or 2 rounds. Blending sporting clays with practical shooting

[@JHruby]

The other advantage of a semi-auto for this game is that you can be thumbing cartridges into the magazine without stopping and dropping the barrel to open the action. Semi autos are perfect for this game except, of course, for the inherent UK bias against semi-automatics. No matter how perfect of a fit and no matter the advantages, they just would plug onward with a double.

[@jimdickey6492]

What about a 5 shooter run with 10rd mag fed shotguns? The throwers going to need a quick thumb to keep up with the shooters

[@Maybenxt_time]

@@JHruby well if they start going up against guys with semi autos they will probably start losing. Lose enough and there competitive spirit will drive them to semi autos. Sounds good in my head😁

[@michaelferretti2942]

This looks like a blast! Would love to try this.

[@BucksSavage]

Would totally watch this!

[@mattskilling3300]

This looks like great fun

[@Tuton25]

This would be interesting with ~5 shot semi-automatics. If you really start blazing away and spend a bunch of time to make sure you don't drop a bird, it gives the other guy a chance to reload the gun and puts you behind the curve. Now he has 5 in the gun and you have 2, and it turns into a race to force the other guy to run out of ammunition.

[@darellkettley6622]

That looked a whole lot of fun, great video👌👏🤣

[@richardhill2737]

Next time you’re in the U.S. hit Moore ‘n Moore Clays in California and shoot a few rounds of Argentina. Very much the same idea and fast

Hey them are the shooting glasses i just bought

[@charlieowen1967]

One day Johnny, i'm sure I'll bump into you at Barbury.

[@ajhillrn08]

Awesome!! this is more like bird hunting. You could also mix it up at the end and have a random trap throw.

[@tmalonso]

Sorta like a handgun dueling tree sequence for clay shooting…great idea

[@michelt4390]

Shotgun plinking, brought up to the next level :-)

[@mattyocam856]

Hate to tell you but it's called a flurry in the states it's been shot here for years main benefit shoots and side games at larger tourneys. I think long range controls makes a programable remote for your sequence, so you don't fry the pullers mind!

[@ricotheworkingcockerspaniel]

Looks like great fun guys 😆😆

[@dave_724]

This would be a lot of fun as a auto comp with full use of gun the loading times would be quicker but you could throw 3 targets per stand then move onto the next one or two targets full use then next stand

[@michaelplank8966]

Incredible story i go to my regular place as a old english man and i allways new the shooting in england is to do with snoby ways as a American for 40 years no pomp i dont even carry my gun in a bag no one does its just safe well i think i told you before my friends son at 11 was shooting 95 out of 100 constantly now this newvguy is amazing every shoot he shoots at 11years old kills while i watched him 70 yrd targetts doing 70 mph it comes of the clay arm 6 ft it smoked not just one but a true pair he normally comes in 2nd or first its amazing never seen anything like it in 55 years of shooting

[@michaelplank8966]

Most shooters here are auto people plus old tee shrit

[@geralddagenais714]

[@K80Ed]

I can’t wait to see David Florents special clays. I expect it may be a little different…

[@TheStockingFiller]

Mr Florent has been working on a form of extreme clay shooting where the target is flung directly at the shooter. Miss and you get a face full of clay. Fortunately, Mr Florent shoots a Browning so there’s no risk involved for him

[@MR12GAUGE]

It's just him shooting driven targets with a yilditz saying low in the comb, doesn't get more special than that

[@tomski0007]

That was epic . The singles definitely needs to be a new cpsa discipline. What a good laugh😂

Does anyone know the name of the pullover rain jacket the chap in the blue ball cap who was shooting was wearing?

[@andersthorn9487]

It’s a blaser anorak

[@squid0013]

This looks like a real blast to play

[@MR12GAUGE]

Classic lads, at start when simon explaining number system and everyone just looks baffled 😂😂, good idea though, i still feel as a spectator sport an evolution of the shootoff is a more " entertaining" watch than the actual bulk of competition, i feel they somewhat had it right through mid 90s rewatch white gold games it's fast paced and some epic shooting

[@SilentEagleFPV]

This looks fun as hell.

[@ExploringWithBT]

Im retired from the 3 gun world because of knee issues. I have several 3 gun shotguns that can hold 10 shells or more. It would be cool to find a place where i could do a 5-10 clay volley. Call pull once and get 5-10 shells back to back from carious machines. My local 5 stand will let me do it but only if im their by myself. And of course you need a semi automatic shotty or pump. I suppose you could do it with an over under with shell ejectors and a shell caddy

[@wcb5890]

Look up flury shooting. Usually done with 3-4 man teams you say pull and I think 50 are so targets go off randomly. It is basically shoot at will and break as many as possible. These are mostly launched like crazy quail or shot at different angles up more so than out.

[@stuartcrane9409]

What make and model of shotgun was Simon shooting?

[@simonreinhold_co_uk]

[@tonymuschara7756]

Jonny, please write out the rules and sequence of play in a comment/reply. I have four elder friends (we're all in our 70s and 80s), I have to be able to explain the rules clearly. After watching the video twice, I'm still uncertain of scoring and how the game progresses. Forgive me, as an American, I believe I'm missing something in translation.

[@robpowell9162]

⁠@@simonreinhold_co_uk so first shooter in theory has the advantage as should always reach 10 first, even if you flip at 5? How does the doubles differ? Regardless; sign me up and let's have a tgs members and Holts Barbury day to test it with more people 🙏🏻

[@iankelley7574]

For those that would shoot this using a side-by-side, watch how Cowboy Action Shooting competitors load their shotguns for quick reloads.

[@aspiecube6619]

Put colored chalk dust in the bottom of the clays with a plastic lid like the ones on fast food cups. When broken the clays would emit a colorful cloud

[@kenlansing1216]

If only Alzheimer's didn't run in my family I'd probably do well at that game.

[@SilntObsvr]

In a couple years, when I shoot better, I'd love to shoot this sport with a semi or pump -- pump because that's what I have, but an *instant* second shot isn't part of this. A fumbled shell wouldn't be a disaster, since you'd have two or three more in the tube, and you could load two if you feel you have time to keep the tube topped up. This might be the only clay sport where the repeaters actually have a (small) advantage, though it does seem like you might want separate classes for repeaters vs. double guns (maybe even one for single guns). It does seem like the guy with the biggest pockets might have an advantage here, too; if you get two guys who shoot really, really well, they could go through a box each before one misses... Seems like almost any Five Stand range could shoot this with little or no modification (take down or cover the menu cards and ready to shoot) and there's one of those less than an hour from my home (half an hour from work). Whether I'd watch it on TV, hard to say -- it's got to be harder on the camera operators than tennis!

The only problem is you must hit the first clay😳

[@victorgalvez927]

use raspberry with camera and open CV in order to automatize the game. Open CV will automatically detect exploding clays and launch the next clay or stop and give the point in a miss. Also you will need to write the rules and the title of the game in the description.

Been comments below about having this tekevised. You would have no chance it's the UK! Any mention of a gun/rifle/firearm is taboo, if you use one or own one or have interest in them you are a msfemsn or nut. This even includes low power sub 12 ft lb air rifles.
