What Can I Expect

Go clay pigeon shooting in Wiltshire! Close to Barbury Castle and enjoying an expanse of wide, open space not far from Swindon, this shooting school offers a wide range of outdoor pursuits  - and clay pigeon shoots are one of the most popular activities.

You'll receive individual gun tuition from an experienced instructor on how to take aim and fire a shotgun, hopefully bringing down a clay or two in the process! You're also given a full explanation and demonstration of safe gun handling, as well as being kitted out with a shooting vest, safety glasses and ear protection. 

Finally, you'll get an appropriate shotgun for your build - women's and junior guns are available - before it's out to North Wiltshire's premier shooting range for the all-important target practice.

To start your shoot, you'll be aiming at both driven and crossing clays. Driven clays are fired from traps close to the ground and simulate pheasants being frightened or 'driven' into flight. Crossing clays are what most people imagine when they think of clay pigeon shooting - where the chalky discs fly across the open sky.

If you select a 50, 75 or 100-clay experience at this Wiltshire centre, you'll also have time to learn the techniques of group shooting. This includes flushes (where you need to co-ordinate as a team to bring down as many clays as you can within the time limit) and flurries, (when there are multiple clays in the air at the same time).

So here's your clay pigeon shooting Wiltshire experience in a nutshell - get settled in the stand, wait patiently, one eye shut looking down the sight of the gun, focus, try to stop your heart beating faster in anticipation...hear the trap go....catch the clay in your sights...and shoot! These clay days near Swindon are great fun and a super choice for groups of up to eight friends, colleagues or family members.
