Clay Pigeon Shooting - Can't or won't kill the real thing, but still want to know what it feels like to fire a shotgun?

It's a great fun activity whatever your ability. Clay pigeon shooting doesn’t separate the men from the girls, in fact it’s a great equaliser. Whether for fun or with a competitive edge its your choice.

All equipment and tuition from the best instructors is available.

Where is Clay Pigeon Shooting held?

On the outskirts of Manchester (about 20 minutes from the centre of town).

Clay pigeon combines skill with a lot of badinage as you laugh at each other missing clays passing in front of the gun slower than a London bus. Hens enjoy this every bit as much as the boys.

This championship standard clay pigeon centre is set in 50-acres of beautiful Lancashire woodland, ideal terrain for a top quality shooting session.

If you are a novice group, your fully qualified CPSA instructor will start your group on a simple going away bird as you learn the basics of tracking the bird and timing your shot. Once you have got the hang of shooting, the group will rotate through a range of different traps. Each mimicks the movement of a different type of game - snipe, grouse, pheasant, pigeon, hare, rabbit, capercaillie, wolf, elephant - nah just kidding. No blood, no dead animals and hopefully no flatcaps.

The tensions will build as the competition heats up and the key to success will be your ability to keep cool on the pressure shots (so a well timed sledge or two to your mates could make all the difference!)

A variety of guns are available to suit all sizes and lighter load cartridges can be used if requested to minimize recoil so everyone can happily enjoy this fun and exciting sport.

More information

The normal stag package is 25 clays but you can up that to 50 if you want the event to be longer. We can only book clay pigeon in daytime hours so through the winter months its a good idea to book either the morning or early afternoon sessions. To get there we suggest just jumping in a Taxi.
