You should consider several factors when choosing a shell. These factors include the pellet hardness, recoil decrease, flexible dampening system, and high velocity. Read on to discover which shells are the best for sporting clays. You should also consider the price. This article will discuss the most important features of a Shell to help you make the right choice.
High velocity
When it comes to shooting clays, you may think that a high velocity shell is necessary to get the best results. In reality, however, this is not true. You won't get much out of a standard shell if you don’t know how it should be shot. You should know how to shoot a standard shot shell before you purchase a high velocity one. Below are some tips on shooting high velocity clays.
Pellet hardness
To break down a clay disc into pieces, a shotgun is used. A shell is a container that contains pellets and plastic cups, called "wadding". The shotgun ignites the shell. The pellets slow down as they hit the open air and are carried by inertia. Pellets with different hardnesses will be crushed differently, which can affect their effectiveness. For example, a pellet of lead 20 gauge can crush twelve balls, while a shell 12 gauge can crush twenty.
Recoil-reducing base wad
Recoil reducing base wads will help you reduce the recoil of your clay shooting. These base wads can improve patterns and reduce recoil. They also seal back-bored guns with a perfect gas seal. A recoil-reducing wand can make all the difference whether you shoot clays with a high powered rifle or a fine shotgun.
Flexible dampening structure
One way to improve the vibration response of a sporting clays target is to use a flexible dampening structure. This type structure uses a constrained layer composed of two materials that can be elastic or viscous. This combination allows for the damping structure's ability to absorb energy but still allow the object to move freely. This type of damping system has been used to target sporting clays. This design has many benefits.
Color of Pellet
One of the most important things to wear while sporting clays shooting is eye protection. Sporting clays are shot in the USA using a trap called a "goaway shot trap". This simulates upland hunting. All sporting clays disciplines require eye protection. However, interchangeable lenses are available. In addition, you can even use corrective lenses with interchangeable color inserts. Pellets can be colored in black or dark grey.

Instead, slow down and walk towards your vehicle. Be calm and composed as you approach a bird. It may take several attempts to get close enough to the bird to allow you to capture it. If you are shooting at wild turkeys, a shotgun loaded in 00 buckshot is the best choice. Only shoot one shot at once.
If your gun jams try again later. Avoid getting hit by flying particles. Lucky enough, a hunter may come and clean up after you.
