B&P Competition One shotshells have earned their reputation as dependable clay target ammunition that lets you practice longer and shoot more comfortably. These 12 gauge shells pack a 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 shot moving at 1160 feet per second, a velocity that's proven effective for trap, skeet, and sporting clays without sacrificing the soft shooting experience these shells are known for.
What makes the Competition One stand out is the Gordon Technology hull. Instead of a solid base, the Gordon system uses a compressible shock-absorbing wad that changes how recoil is felt. The technology spreads the recoil impulse over a longer time rather than delivering one sharp kick, which makes a real difference during long shooting sessions. Competitors frequently mention how the low-recoil design lets them maintain better follow-through and stay on target for second shots without fighting fatigue.
These shells use quality hardened lead shot and pre-cut wads that work together to produce tight, uniform patterns downrange. The combination helps pellets maintain their roundness through the shot column, giving you predictable performance from clay to clay. Multiple users and field tests have confirmed that even out to 25 yards, the Competition One patterns evenly across a 30-inch circle with an improved cylinder choke.
B&P designed the Competition One line to cover the full spectrum of clay target sports. The 1-1/8 ounce load balances sufficient pellet count with the recoil reduction that shooters value. Whether you're breaking in a new gun, running a youth team, or grinding through tournament prep, these shells deliver the consistency you need without wearing you down. The Gordon hull also means these are reloadable if you handload, making them practical for high-volume shooting.
The Gordon hull has a compressible shock-absorbing base wad instead of a solid base. When fired, this base compresses slightly and releases gradually, which spreads the recoil impulse over a longer time. This reduces felt recoil by distributing the force more evenly rather than delivering one sharp impact, allowing shooters to maintain follow-through on second shots and practice longer without fatigue.
These shells are designed for both training and competition. While B&P markets them as an entry-level line, multiple shooters report shooting their highest scores with Competition One shells at 1160 fps. The velocity is well within tournament standards and the consistent patterns break targets reliably across all clay sports.
Yes, the Competition One hulls are reloadable. The Gordon base wad design holds up well for multiple reloads when proper reloading procedures are followed. This makes them practical for shooters who handload and want to maintain cost-effectiveness during high-volume shooting seasons.
Field testing shows the Competition One produces tight, uniform patterns with even shot distribution across a 30-inch circle at 25 yards when using an improved cylinder choke. The quality hardened shot and pre-cut wads help pellets maintain roundness through the shot column, resulting in consistent performance shot after shot.
