Five Stand shooting is a relatively new shooting sport that originated in the United States in the 1980s. It is a variant of sporting clays and involves shooting at targets launched from different stations with varying speeds, trajectories, and angles. Shooters typically rotate between the five different stations and are scored based on their ability to hit the targets.
As Five Stand shooting is a relatively new sport, there may not be many well-known athletes with significant accomplishments in the sport. However, some of the top performers in the sport include Brad Kidd Jr., Zachary Kienbaum, and Gebben Miles, who have all won multiple titles and accolades in Five Stand shooting competitions.
Brad Kidd Jr. is a six-time National Champion in Five Stand shooting and has won numerous other titles in the sport. Zachary Kienbaum is a world record holder in Five Stand shooting and has won multiple World Championship titles. Gebben Miles is a former National Champion in Five Stand shooting and has represented the United States in multiple international competitions.
Today, Five Stand Clay Shooting is a popular shooting sport worldwide, with competitions held at both the amateur and professional levels. It is often considered a more fast-paced and challenging version of Sporting Clays, as shooters have less time to react to the targets and must quickly adapt to different shooting stations and target presentations.
What’s The Difference Between Five Stand, Sporting Clays, Trap, Skeet, and FITASC?
Five Stand shooting differs from other shooting sports such as Sporting Clays, Trap, Skeet, and FITASC in several ways:
➤ Target presentation: In Five Stand, the targets are launched from five different shooting stations, with each station presenting a unique combination of targets that simulate various hunting scenarios. In contrast, sporting clays courses typically have 10-15 stations, each with a different target presentation.
➤ Number of targets: A typical round of Five Stand usually involves shooting at 25 targets, whereas other shooting sports like Trap and Skeet typically involve shooting up to 50 targets.
➤ Scoring: In Five Stand, each target is scored based on whether it is hit or missed, with misses resulting in a score of zero. In contrast, other shooting sports like Trap and Skeet use a complex scoring system that takes into account the number of targets hit and the order in which they are hit.
➤ Shooting positions: In Five Stand, shooters typically move from station to station in a predetermined sequence, whereas in other shooting sports like Sporting Clays and FITASC, shooters are often able to choose their own shooting positions.
➤ Speed of shooting: Five Stand is generally considered to be a faster-paced shooting sport than Sporting Clays or FITASC, as shooters have less time to react to each target and must quickly adapt to the different target presentations at each station.
Overall, Five Stand offers a condensed and fast-paced version of Sporting Clays that is popular with shooters who are looking for a quick and challenging shooting experience.
