Clay Hunt VR

Clay Hunt VR is a shotgun sports and shooter game from Shotgun Gaming Oy. It recreates clay target shooting and bird hunting, with target flight and lead simulated to match the real sport. The game was released on the Meta Horizon Store on October 5, 2021.

How it plays

You can play with the controllers alone, or clip them into a gun stock accessory for a more realistic hold. The developer points to stock options on its own website, including the Real Stock Pro shown in the trailer. Difficulty scales from a beginner setting, with slower targets and a more forgiving hit window, up to a professional setting that uses true-to-life physics.

• Clay shooting: American and International trap, double trap, skeet and sporting clays across several courses.
• Creative mode: design your own clay courses.
• Hunting: duck, pigeon and pheasant drive challenges.
• Add-ons: extra sporting locations, hunting with a dog, a boar hunt and fast FPV drone targets that come with an automatic rifle.

The action stays grounded: this is about timing, swing and lead rather than arcade explosions, which makes it a good fit for people who shoot clays in real life or want to learn the basics.

Multiplayer

You can enter community competitions or book a private room to shoot with friends.

Comfort

Meta rates Clay Hunt VR as comfortable for most people. You can play sitting, standing or room-scale, and it uses controllers only (no hand tracking).
