The Sporting Clays event took place on Friday and Saturday the 27th and 28th of April, with the shooters taking part shooting 100 targets on day 1 and 100 targets on day 2, to acheive a total high score out of 200.
The Casa de Campo Shooting Center, centered around the formidable red and white tower boasts more than 200 different stations, which catapult the clay targets into the air at different heights, speeds and angles, each one designed to represent the movement of different animals such as pheasants and rabbits.
