Are Real Shotguns Used on a Clay Pigeon Shooting Hen Party?
Yes, they are! Although the UK operates strict firearm laws and restrictions, outdoor activity centres that offer this activity are one of the few places where you can get the chance to fire a real shotgun. However, like with any firearms, all must be used safely and according to instruction, which your co-ordinator will explain to you fully on the day.
Is a Clay Pigeon Shooting Hen Party Difficult?
Many will think that this activity looks almost impossible for the complete beginner, but clay pigeon shooting isn’t as difficult as it may first look! Whilst this is a skilled sport that requires a good amount of practice, anybody can get started and have a go at a clay pigeon shooting hen party… the key ingredient is patience and accuracy. After a few practice shots, you’ll be hitting clays in no time.
What are “Clay Pigeons”?
A good question! Whilst not birds per-say, clay pigeons are heavy, disk-shaped objects similar in size to a small plate. This makes them ideal targets as they shatter on impact when struck with a bullet, and you’ll soon realise just how satisfying it is when you hit your first one! These clay targets replaced real pigeons in British sport shooting when the practice of using live birds was outlawed in the early 1920s.
