If you’re looking for variety and excitement in clay target sports, 5-Stand might be your new favorite game. It’s fast, fun, and challenging, with a wide range of target presentations that keep things interesting—perfect for both beginners and experienced shooters.
As the name suggests, 5-Stand is played with five shooting stations arranged in a line. In front of the shooters are six to eight trap machines, each sending out targets at different angles, heights, and speeds. You’ll shoot from each stand, taking aim at a combination of singles and doubles, with each stand offering a unique sequence.
Here’s how it works:
-
A full round consists of 25 targets—5 targets per stand.
-
Each shooter rotates through all five stands.
-
At each stand, you shoot in a set order: usually a single target, followed by two report pairs (a second target is launched when you fire at the first).
-
The target menu is posted at each stand, so you know what to expect—but trust us, it still keeps you on your toes!
Safety first: Always keep your gun unloaded and action open until you’re in position. Eye and ear protection is mandatory.
The beauty of 5-Stand is the variety—it simulates real hunting scenarios and tests your reflexes and accuracy from every angle.
