Small person, very big guns.. what could possibly go wrong? Thankfully the instructors Justine and Mark we\u2019re really lovely though, and I even got a cup of tea to settle my nerves.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cpoint and shoot, point and shoot\u201d \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2347 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/thebigshoot.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160417_121407_HDR.jpg\" alt=\"20160417_121407_HDR\" width=\"130\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebigshoot.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160417_121407_HDR.jpg 918w, https:\/\/thebigshoot.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160417_121407_HDR-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/thebigshoot.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160417_121407_HDR-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebigshoot.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160417_121407_HDR-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 130px) 100vw, 130px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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.

Yes and no, the guns were a lot bigger than I expected, but I absolutely loved it and I\u2019ll definitely give it another go.
