Come and Learn to shoot clay targets in a field situation.
The match consists of 30 targets which are fired from 6 traps including a rabbit trap. A rabbit trap is a clay which bounces along the ground instead of moving through the air. This fast moving sport lasts approximately 4 hours and is enjoyed by all the competitors whether young or old.
Shotguns:
Whilst there are a number of very expensive shotguns around, a top of the range gun is not an essential piece of equipment. As with all shotgun events, gun fit is very important, but new shooters will find the more experienced shooters willing to give advice on gun fit, style and technique to help them choose a suitable shotgun. On most ranges, the shooters are happy to give newcomers a few shots out of their guns, so that fit and style can be established. By going along to a shoot, a new shooter can be given a considerable amount of help and advice before venturing into the field of shotgun purchase. Good second hand guns are available and this is a good starting point for anyone interested in giving clay target shooting a go.
Shotguns that are generally suitable for 5-Stand and Sporting Clays events have sporting style stocks and variable chokes.
Matches start at 12 O'clock and are shot every Thursday, the first Sunday of the Month and usually the 3rd Saturday.
See the club program to confirm the dates and times.
