FIVE-STAND

The game of five-stand can be highly modified, but it typically involves six machines and five shooters standing in a
line abreast. Depending on where the game is in rotation, each shooter may face a single target from a predetermined
machine, or may face a pair of targets from predetermined machines. Targets may be traveling straight away from the
shooter, or crossing from left to right or from right to left.
The FFA Sporting Clays competitions each fall, conducted by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation,
involve four shooters per round and six machines laid out in a specific pattern.

Safety should always be a primary concern in
shooting sports. Shotguns should be racked when
not in use, with the actions open.
