Clay shooting is a very popular sport of shooting flying clay targets with a shotgun.
It’s safe, exciting, challenging and fun. Hitting the target requires skill, timing and hand-eye coordination. There is nothing quite like that feeling when you pull the trigger and see the target explode into millions of pieces!
You can enjoy clay shooting at any level, from local club shoots all the way through to national and international competitions and the Olympics. How far you want to go is entirely up to you.
Clay shooting is a great leveller – it’s a sport that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age and physical ability. Men, women and youngsters compete together on equal terms.
That can make it ideal as a family activity. Parents and youngsters can go shooting together, spending time outdoors, enjoying a shared challenge and bit of friendly rivalry.
You’ll find that clay shooting is a friendly and welcoming sport. Beginners are welcomed at the shooting club and you’ll get plenty of friendly advice and encouragement from the regulars.
