Definition

An on-report pair is a type of target presentation in clay shooting where the second clay target is launched immediately after the shooter fires at the first. The second target is “on report” of the first shot, meaning it is triggered by the sound of the gun firing.

Further Explanations

On-report pairs are common in sporting clays and are designed to test the shooter's ability to transition quickly between targets. Unlike a true pair, where both clays are launched at the same time, an on-report pair adds a reactive timing element, keeping the shooter focused and engaged.

Why it matters:

• Encourages quicker target acquisition

• Improves shot-to-shot transition speed

• Simulates real hunting scenarios

• Requires precise timing and focus

The first target is often a more straightforward shot, while the second may be faster, angled, or farther away, making this format a great way to build reactive shooting skills.
