Galway Clay Pigeon Shooting

Blow stress away on your stag weekend in Galway...

If the stag's stressed out you need to plan something that'll smash his wedding woes and work worries to smithereens. The perfect stress-busting activity for a stag party is an afternoon of Galway Clay Pigeon Shooting. So grab a shotgun and get blowing those clays out of the sky, lads.

You don't have to be a crack shot to have a brilliant time out in the countryside shooting clays. Your stag party will be instructed by a clay pigeon shooting expert. He'll give tips and tricks on how to smash the clay and before you know it you'll be tracking and shooting like a pro.

The country sports site is a short 15 minute drive outside the city centre, located in the stunning Irish countryside. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by a friendly, experienced instructor who'll take you through a safety briefing. You'll learn how to load, aim, track and fire a shotgun and how to hit a moving target.

Once everyone is up to speed, you'll take on 18 rounds of clays. You'll have two sessions with eight shots each. There's no need to keep track of your scores as you'll have a scorecard for the end. Time to find out who in your stag party is a marksman and who can't hit the broadside of a bard!
