If you've never had a go at clay pigeon shooting before, this experience is perfect as a fully qualified instructor will be on hand to teach you how to handle the gun, load it, aim and fire at the clay targets. All tuition is geared towards ability, so the activity is also suitable for someone who has already learnt the basics.
