“Booked the 25 shots for my stag, everyone had a really great time.”

Tony Squire – Clay Pigeon Shooting Bean – 15th July 2017

“Thoroughly enjoyable and will be returning. As an older woman (68) I expected I might be slightly patronised in such a relatively male environment but nothing could be further from the truth. My instructor was helpful, clear and mannerly. At no time did I feel out of place. I opted for the 25 clay taster course but could have stayed much longer. Looking forward to my next shoot. Thank you!

Jaquline Jones – Clay Pigeon Shooting Bean – 12th July 2017

“Big thanks to Alex for rearranging my original booking at short notice. Great customer service. Thanks too to the team at Bean for the help and assistance at my first ever shoot.”

What is Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting?

From skeet and sporting, to down the line and double trap, clay pigeon shooting can take almost any form, but one discipline you’ve probably never heard of is laser clay pigeon shooting..

Even seasoned shooters are new to this futuristic take on smashing clays, but it’s already proving to be a huge hit with everybody that gives it a go. So, to make sure everybody’s up to speed and ready to join the fun we thought we’d take a look at what exactly laser clay pigeon shooting is.

First things first, how does it work? Well, for starters the shotguns used in laser clay pigeon shooting are deactivated 12-bore shotguns, which have been converted to fire invisible infrared laser beams. Then there’s the clays, which have also been given a 21st century makeover and fitted with special sensors that automatically detect when they’ve been hit. Every time you nail a clay a signal is sent back the the scoreboard, and as well as receiving a point you’ll also hear the distinctive sound of a clay smashing.

The next thing you probably want to know about laser clay pigeon shooting is how the clays are launched – and thankfully it’s a lot easier to explain than the infrared technology! Laser clays are launched in exactly the same way as standard clays and the traps can be adjusted to create just as much variation. You can even increase the difficulty, so if an instructor thinks you’re finding things a little too easy don’t be surprised if they change things up and throw some trickier targets your way.

With the traps and technology covered, all that’s left to explain is how you blast your way to the title of top shot – and there’s nothing quite as competitive as laser clay pigeon shooting! Up to five shooters can take aim at a single clay and although it’s not a race to squeeze the trigger and smash the clay first, getting in early piles the pressure on your opponents big time. To make the action even more exciting you’ll also hear the unmistakable sound of shotguns firing, and the shooter that hits the most clays wins, simple!

Now you know everything there is to know about laser clay pigeon shooting you’re probably itching to give it a go, and the good news is we’ve just added a brilliant new venue in Reading. This one-of-a-kind activity is perfect for parties, team building events and even summer holiday fun, so why not find out first hand why shooters can’t get enough of laser clay pigeon shooting!
