A typical first experience of Clay Pigeon Shooting

Dress for the occasion as you and your friends take hold of our shotguns and compete against one another to determine whose the best shooter in the group, providing the perfect scene for your best friends last night of freedom as well as those just looking for a nice day out. It’s ability to bring a group of people together, both newbies and experts, in an adrenaline filled, action packed and competitive environment makes Clay Shooting the perfect social event!

What to expect on your first time?

Upon arriving at your first ever clay shoot you’re given a full safety briefing by our qualified instructors and kitted out with all the safety gear to allow you to enjoy your day. Before you begin to shoot the instructors will see what your dominant eye is. This is a really simple process and can even be done when reading this, just point your finger to an object across the room. Now, close your left eye. If you can see the object at the end of your finger this means that you are right eye dominant. If instead the object has moved away from your finger, open your left eye and close your right, without moving your hand. If you’re left eye dominant, the object will now be at the end of your finger.

Once you’ve done this our expert instructors, who will be by your side throughout the session, will first teach you how to hold the gun and where to place the gun when firing. You’ll be taught to hold the gun’s butt in a groove inside your shoulder joint and then taught how to correctly hold your body to maintain accuracy when you fire your first shot.

Once you’ve got them down to a tee, you’re ready to fire! The clay pigeon will be fired at a beginner level, meaning it won’t make those crazy movements and our instructors will provide you with the tips and tricks on when to shoot and give you that all needed encouragement if you’re not quite hitting them just yet! Just don’t be nervous and stay calm, Clay shooting is fun and nobody is an expert straight away, you’ll fire much better and enjoy yourself much more when you’re nice and relaxed.

We’re the best in the business and with over 150 clay shooting locations to chose from across the UK and Ireland, chances are one of our venues will only be a short distance from where you are or where your looking to go. Click here for a list of venues and find the perfect location for you.
