“For my first ever clay shooting experience I booked a 30 clay shoot at our Knaresborough venue, which is just down the road from our head office in Harrogate.
I’d never tried anything like clay shooting before, so I was quite nervous. Small person, very big guns.. what could possibly go wrong? Thankfully the instructors Justine and Mark we’re really lovely though, and I even got a cup of tea to settle my nerves.
Before we took on the clays Mark gave us a full briefing and showed us how to handle the guns safely, his top tip for nailing the clays was “point and shoot, point and shoot” – if only it was that easy! His advice was really clear though, and by the time it came to taking on the clays I knew exactly what I was supposed to do.
As we worked our way round the different shooting stands my confidence grew and grew, and I even managed to smash the odd clay or two. The whole experience was made by seeing my first few clays shatter, and you really can’t beat the feeling of blowing a clay to pieces!
Was my clay shooting experience what I expected? Yes and no, the guns were a lot bigger than I expected, but I absolutely loved it and I’ll definitely give it another go. Thanks to Mark and Justine for a fab day!”
