DryFire Layouts
   

Here is a list of standard layouts provided by DryFire. It is possible to create your own layout at any time. You will find that DryFire has the perfect setup for your shooting discipline. DryFire even lets you change the clay order in Olympic doubles. How? DryFire has one target spot. It starts off showing the first clay and, if you hit it, carries on with the trajectory of the second. Not everyone agrees with the order that have been selected. Some people start with the left clay on some stands and the right clay on others. This can be easily changed with some text editing.

Tip: Click on the images below to see an enlarged view of the screenshots.

   
  Layout Examples
 

A rabbit trap. This also shows the rest of the DryFire screen which enables you to select:

  • The layout file - shown in the top banner "sportinga"
  • The trap
  • The stand
  • The shooter selected
  • The cartridge selected

View of a shooting line showing two different height towers(away and driven), incoming low tower, quartering, rabbit, and going away targets. In this case the clay trajectories have been made visible both as a track on the ground and as a path through the air. Six stands of different platform heights are shown. Wind speed was set to zero for this example. (Note the safety fences in the layout!) This layout was generated in under 15 minutes using the features provided by the new "Course Designer" software.

Facing a clay released from the top of an 54 ft. tower. The shooter is at ground level within a safety cage.

Olympic skeet showing eight shooting stands/stations. The shooter is on stand 1 ready to take a high shot. Note the bins for empty cartridges by each station.

American Trap Association doubles. The shooter is on the 16 yard line station 3. In front he can see the trap house, the maximum left/right angles and the trajectory of the current clay.

Olympic Trap Singles. There are 15 traps, 3 under each of the 5 trap positions. The settings for each of the 15 traps varies according to 9 sets of official tables. DryFire supports all 9 tables. Click here to see the 15 "underground" traps.

This layout shows what can be done with a single trap in a field. Eight (8) different shooting stations provide incoming, outgoing, quartering and crossing targets - from both left and right.

This is one for the "duck hunters". The targets will come in high and from a long distance away. You have to hold off until they start their descent to the pond in front of you. Shooting the duck on the water is, of course, NOT permitted! If you hit the duck, you will hear an unusual sound.

And now for some serious fun! The single oscillating trap releases clays at random vertical angles. The quicker you shot and break the clay, the higher your score will be. This was called Star Shoot when it was on TV.

The final result! This screen shows the freeze-frame grab of a shot at a high house target taken on station 4 in English Skeet. The image shows the shot-string at its closest point to the clay. This is a hit but slightly behind and below - so it could have been better! You can move around the screen to see the freeze-frame from any viewpoint you wish.


Creating your own layouts

Skeet and trap layouts don't vary much - though the background and weather conditions will certainly vary from place to place and from time to time. The location of the stands, the location of the traps, the angles and distances they launch clays at, are all defined by official rules (National or Olympic) - the DryFire layouts conform to those rules.

Sporting and FITASC layouts are different at every shooting ground and they will vary from one competition to another. Shooting ground owners are able to vary their traps and stands so that they can present an almost infinite variety of different targets.

DryFire comes with a set of target files that cover all the standard disciplines. However, we recognize that there are people out there who know far more than we do about creating layouts suitable for everyone from the novice to the international FITASC competitor.

Course Designer
The optional Course Designer software makes it possible for anyone to design a complete sporting layout and to make that layout available to all DryFire users. A fully working demonstration copy of Course Designer is provided with every DryFire system and is available from the Download page of this web site.
