In a field, five men stand in a line. They are shooting shotguns at clay targets that are being fired into the air from a launcher. Behind them a crowd of spectators watching. A woman and two men stand nearby chatting, the shooting continues.
A man holds up a clay target for the camera changes to the launching machine itself set up in front of a barrier. Beside it wooden boxes presumably holding more clay targets. A man sits at the launcher speaking with the cameraman. He loads a target into the launcher and fires it into the air. Beside him several large stacks clay targets.
Five different men come forward with their shotguns and begin firing at the targets watched by the crowd standing someway behind them.
The film ends on a field with a house at the far end.
