With the countdown to Christmas almost over the festive season is in full swing, and is it just us or is December just one long party?<\/strong><\/p>\n

From work nights out to family get-togethers, it\u2019s one thing after another at this time of year. So it\u2019s no wonder so many people suffer with a so called \u2018Christmas hangover\u2019.<\/p>\n

Thankfully we know the perfect cure for this festive phenomenon though and if you\u2019re up for some fun a trip to the shooting ground is the perfect way to recharge your batteries.<\/p>\n

First things first though, the important stuff. Safety is of paramount importance if you’re going clay pigeon shooting, so if you’ve entered the festive spirit a little too much in the run up to your experience you should probably give it a miss. If you wouldn’t feel safe getting behind the wheel of a car you definitely shouldn’t be handling a shotgun. Our best advice is to sit it out and keep score, or cosy up in the clubhouse and watch the action unfold from afar.<\/p>\n

Now that’s out of the way, back to what we’re here for – why clay pigeon shooting is the perfect cure for the Christmas blues. Where do we start? Well first of all there’s fresh air and fantastic views, which are the perfect remedy for the chaos of Christmas. While shops and restaurants are rammed with revellers, shooting grounds are a sea of tranquillity and the only thing you’ll hear is the bang of shotguns and smashing of clays. Heaven!<\/p>\n

Then there’s the rush of taking on the clays and whether it’s your first or fiftieth trip to a shooting ground, you just can’t beat it. Setting your sights on the range of targets on offer also gives you the perfect opportunity to clear your head and focus on the only thing that matters – smashing clays. So forget thinking about whether or not you’ve left it too late to get the Turkey, or where you’ve hidden the emergency chairs, just relax and have a blast.<\/p>\n

A clay pigeon shooting experience is a great way to catch up with friends and family too, and it’s a lot more fun than all those traditional get-togethers. You could even throw in a prize for the winner if you really want to up the ante, but don’t blame us when things get out of hand!<\/p>\n

So, if you’re ready to beat the Christmas hangover book your clay shooting experience today<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
