Nordic Clays

Nordic clays are clay-based target materials manufactured for use in shotgun shooting sports, designed to shatter consistently upon impact while maintaining structural integrity during launch and flight from a trap or skeet throwing machine. These targets serve as the standard medium for clay pigeon shooting disciplines practiced at shooting ranges and training facilities across Pakistan, supporting both recreational shooters and competitive marksmen.

Standard clay target dimensions measure 110mm in diameter with a height of approximately 25mm, matching international shooting sport specifications used in trap, skeet, and sporting clays disciplines. Additionally, the clay composition uses a mixture of limestone powder, petroleum pitch, and other binding agents, formulated to create a brittle yet flight-stable disc that holds together under launch forces exceeding 100 km/h while breaking apart cleanly when struck by shot pellets. Weight per target typically runs between 95 and 110 grams depending on the manufacturing batch and intended discipline.

Color options include standard orange, black, and white variants, with high-visibility orange remaining the most common choice for daytime range visibility against sky and ground backgrounds. Furthermore, packaging comes in cases of 135 targets as the standard trade unit, matching common trap house loading cycles and simplifying inventory management for range operators. Storage requirements call for dry conditions, as humidity exposure degrades the binding agent and causes premature target fragmentation before launch.

Flight characteristics depend on the disc’s aerodynamic profile, with the curved upper surface generating lift during launch and creating the characteristic arcing trajectory shooters track during target presentation. Moreover, breaking patterns on impact provide visible confirmation of a hit, with proper composition causing the target to shatter into multiple visible fragments rather than simply chipping or deflecting.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies Nordic clay targets to shooting ranges, sporting clubs, law enforcement training academies, and competitive shooting federations requiring consistent, reliable clay targets for trap and skeet disciplines across Pakistan.
