Competition Calendar

The FITASC Sporting discipline holds a major place in the world of clay target shooting. Known for its realistic field-style layouts, natural terrain, and highly technical target presentations, it attracts shooters of all levels throughout the year. The FITASC Sporting Competition Calendar allows competitors to follow all key national and international events hosted across shooting grounds around the country.

What is FITASC Sporting

FITASC Sporting is designed around natural or semi-natural layouts that simulate hunting-like shooting situations in a purely sporting format. Shooters use a sporting shotgun (12 gauge) and engage a wide variety of targets, including standard, rabbit, battue, midi, super mini, and flash clays.

Targets can present as crossing, incoming, outgoing, arcing, or fast low rolling rabbit lines. These variations require quick target reading, smooth gun control, and a high level of precision. Each layout is unique, making every competition different and technically demanding.

Events follow the official rules of FITASC, ensuring uniformity and fairness.

A typical FITASC Sporting competition includes:

• 200 targets, shot in 25-target series

The natural diversity of the shooting grounds adds depth and realism to each event, creating the distinctive atmosphere associated with FITASC Sporting.
