CueShot

 Snooker with a Shotgun

Experience the fusion of snooker strategy with the thrill of clay shooting.

CueShot transforms the traditional game of snooker into an exciting shotgun sport. In CueShot, players use a shotgun in place of a cue and break clays instead of potting balls on a snooker-inspired range. The playing field is set with clay traps representing each ball’s placement, and players take turns aiming to score the highest points by breaking clays in a specific order.

Each clay color corresponds to a snooker ball value: Red clays score 1 point, followed by Yellow (2 points), Green (3), Brown (4), Blue (5), Pink (6), and Black (7). Players begin each turn by hitting a “cue” target (white clay), and once hit, a red target appears “on report” for scoring. A player who successfully breaks both the cue and red clay scores 1 point and then nominates a color for the next target. The player must break the white cue clay first each time; missing the cue target forfeits the turn. However, hitting the color clay but missing the cue results in points awarded to the opponent, adding a layer of strategy.

CueShot can be played as CueShot6 or CueShot Pro. In CueShot6, players face six red and six color clays, providing a quick yet challenging game with a maximum score of 75 points. CueShot Pro mirrors a full snooker game with 15 reds and six color clays, allowing for a maximum score of 147 points, creating a more extended game experience that tests players’ skill and consistency.

Each game format allows for singles or doubles play, with each player or team member alternating turns to accumulate the highest score. CueShot introduces the snooker concepts of breaks, fouls, and strategic scoring to the shooting range, making it an engaging sport for both clay shooters and snooker fans alike.

ParShot is open to all shooting classes—Open, Senior, and Junior—with shotgun calibres including 12, 20, 28 gauge, and .410. With its unique combination of clay shooting and golf strategy, CueShot offers a dynamic experience for both shooters and spectators, encouraging skill, focus, and a bit of competitive spirit.
