Say No To Socks & Get Your Hands On The Perfect Xmas Present

Not even a pair of ultra-luxurious shooting socks can compete with the thrill of getting your hands on a clay shooting voucher from The Big Shoot, and that’s why this year we’re saying no to socks!

It’s not just socks we’re saying no to though, we’ve declared war on all those boring presents that get shoved in draw as soon as Christmas is over. We want something as exciting as smashing clays and that’s why clay pigeon shooting vouchers make the perfect present.

For starters they’re one-of-a-kind and completely bespoke, just like the best British shotguns. You can make them your own too by choosing the amount (from £25), the message and the gift wrap. The message is your real chance to personalise this unique gift though and over the years we’ve seen it all. So don’t be afraid to let those creative juices flow and show that special someone just how much you really care.

The Big Shoot gift vouchers are even valid at over 150 of the UK & Ireland’s best shooting grounds, giving the lucky recipient an unbeatable choice of venues to visit. From spectacular shooting grounds hidden amongst the Scottish Highlands, to state-of-the-art shooting centres used to host international competitions, there’s something for even the most experienced of clay shooters.

The real kicker though? They’re much easier to wrap than socks! You can either print them out at home and slip them in to a card, or if you’ve chosen a glossy gift wallet or gift box they’ll arrive at your door perfectly presented and ready for wrapping. If you like to leave things last minute, you can even get your hands on The Big Shoot vouchers on Christmas day. They’ll be sent straight to your email inbox and nobody will be any the wiser!

We know what we’d rather get our hands on, don’t you? Order your Big Shoot vouchers here.

“A fantastic experience that was better than a pair of socks and a jumper for Christmas.”
