Here at The Big Shoot we eat, sleep and breath clay pigeon shooting. So when we’re not introducing our customers to the rush of taking on the clays, there’s nothing we love more than visiting some of our spectacular shooting grounds – and with over 140 different venues to choose from we’re seriously spoilt for choice!
The latest member of the team to satisfy their craving for clays was Brummie, Team Leader Mike, who returned to the Midlands to visit Clay Pigeon Shooting Hanbury. Here’s how he got on..
“I’ve been clay pigeon shooting a couple of times now, and I was really looking forward to visiting Hanbury because of all the great feedback we’ve received. It’s also really close to where I grew up too, so it gave me the perfect excuse to visit home.
Our session started at bang on 12pm, and after we’d met our instructor and signed in, we got down to action pretty much straight away. The session started with a full safety briefing, followed by a run through of the guns and cartridges we were using. Our instructor even took a cartridge apart and showed us all the different elements that are squeezed inside, which was really interesting.
After we’d completed the briefing it was time to face the clays, and the variety of different traps to take aim at was awesome. The shooting stands were covered too, so when it inevitably started to rain there was no need to stop the action. Because there were a few of us in our group things got quite competitive, but it was really good fun and I just tried to do my best to hit as many clays as possible.
Even though I didn’t quite manage to come out on top I really enjoyed the shoot at Hanbury, and the instructors really went out of their way to help me perfect my technique. By the end of the experience I was blowing even the trickiest clays apart, and if it hadn’t been for a few early misses I’d definitely have taken the title of top shot!
Thanks to the team at Clay Pigeon Shooting Hanbury for an awesome day!”
