We INVENTED a new shooting sport!? Rally Clays! 

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

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....

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

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 🥴🥴😂🤣

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.

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.

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.

Good times! Thanks for Sharing!

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

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

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

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.

Looks like a fab day out! Well done lads!

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 :)

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.

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

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

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.

Looks like lots of fun!

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

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

Brilliant!

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

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

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

This looks like great fun

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Very cool! I like it a lot 🔥

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

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

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.

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

Would totally watch this!

This looks like a real blast to play

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

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

This was awesome! Looks like loads of fun … just need to get some guys together to try it out 😅

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.

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

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

Hey them are the shooting glasses i just bought

Looks great.suprised nobody got there barrels shot off😂

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

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.

This looks fun as hell.

Awesome one day I want to try sporting clays, we do trap for our school hunter safety team.

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

I love it

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

Looks like great fun guys 😆😆

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

Looks good fun

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

This was mental but cool hmm a semi auto format next please 👍👍👍🇬🇧🌞

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!

It reminds me of the card game in "The League of Gentlemen" Go Go Johnny Go Go.

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

Ok guys looks like a great shoot, can you tell me the rules and and how to set it up please.

I’m off to lains to try that now 😂😜

i am still totally lost . far too complicated and still not TV friendly . better off shooting at exploding clays if they are hit with a bright flash . good effort but a no go from me ,

Everyone looks like they had fun! What gun was Simon shooting?

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

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

No one ever heard of Star Shot? On BBC 2 in the early eighties

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.

Re-giged pool shoot without the faff....!!!

The singles was easier to watch , if it was televised I think doubles is too hard to watch and put people off

They should bring back StarShot.

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

Listened to this twice and still didn’t understand how the game is played.

My friends and I would love to try this out at our ground. Have you thought about writing out the rules/process to share out?

We need the rules in writing

Sorry but I followed the transcript but found this confusing in terms of the rules. Could you add them to the description or a link to them so it is clearer? Thanks.

I need the wrote out rules for this lol

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

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!

Who knew gta san andreas ammunation challange was fun.

You really want to liven it up... throw in some FPV drones following the clays...

What make and model of shotgun was Simon shooting?

I'd love to try it, but I don't think I'd watch other people doing it (other than you guys).

The only problem is you must hit the first clay😳

so complex mensa should be involved !!!

So it's a game of knockout?

what is your Shooting Hearing Protection?

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

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. It would be great to watch but never happen, when the Olympics is on bow and arrow gets more air timev

The looks like some great fun and intense shooting as it progresses. 1. Name it Simon Says. 2. Please publish the rules and order of shooting so this can be spread to the masses.

whats a let?

I must be pretty stupid because I have no idea of what this game is. I am lost. A more thorough explanation of the game would help immensely....

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.

Looks like great fun😅 I imagine doing that on a German Clay ground, I suggest the officials will get immediately a heart attack. Fun and shooting are not going together here in Germany. Sadly the most shooters and hunters are to single track minded.

Have to listen carefully.

What’s Simon shooting??

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.

Certainly made it quicker...but more exciting to watch? .. meh....
