Compact Sporting is a fun idea that allows all the usual targets from English and International sporting to be combined into a competition that can be shot in a small area. Set on a Skeet range, four firing points are available, along with four extra traps. These traps can be differing types of target for example Rabbit or Springing teal these are added to a combination of horizontal skeet targets.

Shooters change firing points every sequence of targets throughout the 21 that makes up a round. Single and double targets are fired when the shooter calls, usually with their gun out of their shoulder.

An open choked sporting gun is most suitable for this discipline, as most targets will not be fired at a very distant range. A multichoked gun would be more adaptable for different layouts.

The score is simply formed from how many targets are broken by a shooter.
