B&P Ammunition's Competition Flyer line represents over a century of Italian shotshell engineering combined with modern ballistic technology. These 12 gauge shells are built specifically for clay target sports where consistency and reliability matter most. Each round loads 1 1/4 ounce of #8 shot—the versatile choice for trap, skeet, and sporting clays disciplines.
What sets these shells apart is the Gordon System wad, a distinctive conical design molded into the shell's base. This engineering absorbs the shock of ignition instead of transferring it abruptly to your shoulder, effectively dampening felt recoil while maintaining full velocity. The result is comfortable shooting during high-volume practice sessions without sacrificing the speed and performance needed to break targets consistently. Muzzle velocity runs 1305 fps, fast enough to reach distant targets while still managing recoil.
The #8 shot size paired with the 1 1/4 ounce payload creates tight, dense patterns ideal for most clay disciplines. This load works equally well at 25 yards on skeet doubles or 40+ yards on sporting clays presentations. Many competitive shooters appreciate the balance—enough pellets for pattern density, large enough pellets to maintain energy downrange. The shells come loaded with quality lead shot and B&P's pre-cut wad for consistent separation and uniform patterns shot after shot.
These aren't economy loads cut with corners. B&P manufactures their powder on-site and applies rigorous quality control throughout production, ensuring velocity consistency and uniform pressure across every round. The plastic hull is durable enough for reloaders, though most will appreciate the factory consistency that removes variables from practice sessions. Whether you're developing loads for competition or just putting in work at your local club, the Competition Flyer performs predictably through multiple boxes.
The Gordon System is a conical base wad molded into the shell's internal base. When fired, this design slightly compresses and absorbs the shock of ignition, then springs back into place. This dampens the felt recoil by cushioning the energy transfer rather than letting it hit your shoulder abruptly. You maintain full velocity while feeling a noticeably softer shot, which becomes increasingly valuable during extended practice sessions.
Yes, #8 shot is the most versatile choice across trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The pellet size patterns well at moderate distances while maintaining enough energy to break targets reliably to 40 yards and beyond. For skeet where targets are closer, some prefer #9 for denser patterns. For longer crossing shots in sporting clays, some carry #7.5. But #8 is the single load most competitive shooters keep as their primary round.
The plastic hulls are reloadable, though the Gordon System base won't function identically on reloads as it does factory. Many reloaders use these hulls successfully with standard shotshell reloading components and data. However, most clay competitors rely on factory loads for consistency, since variables from reloading can affect the pattern consistency that matters in competition.
These 2.75-inch shells work with any modern 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 2.75-inch ammunition. Always check your owner's manual to confirm your specific gun accepts these loads. The 1305 fps velocity is sufficient for semi-automatic shotguns and works great in over-under or pump guns, though semi-auto shooters might prefer 1250+ fps for reliability in some older or finicky actions.
