Often regarded as one of the more technically demanding forms of sporting clays, FITASC demands accuracy, target reading skills, and stage management. In FITASC, competitors shoot 200 targets across 8 parcours that include multiple shooting positions that offer unique challenges such as terrain, target types, as well as presentation angles and distances.
The Winchester AA Lite-Handicap 1 oz shotshell is a popular choice among international sporting clays competitors and was used by Zach Kienbaum, Connor Daniel, Anthony Matarese, and Joe Fanizzi at the 2026 FITASC World Sporting Clays Championship.
