York Clay Pigeon Shooting

A York stag weekend without clay pigeon shooting would be like Cambridge without punting. Try your hand at the grand daddy of country sports in the rugged Yorkshire Dales. There's no better way to blow off steam than with 12-bore double-barrelled shotguns! Don a deerstalker and unleash your inner country squire.

Shooting virgins are welcome. York's premier clay pigeon shooting ground offers stag party sessions for beginners, improvers and pros. If you're new to the sport, prepare for an almighty adrenaline rush! The pure power supplied by 12-bore guns is astounding stuff.

Professional instructors will show your stag party how to hold a gun without dislocating a shoulder, load, lock, aim and hit a moving target. Challenging but incredibly satisfying once you get the hang of it, clay shooting is always a winner with red-blooded chaps. Keep a score sheet and find out which chap is the group's crack shot.

Skill, control and a steady arm will see you right. Clay pigeon shooting is all about keeping a cool head but you'll still need to act decisively and fast if you want to blast the clays out of the sky.

Includes: one-to-one instruction, 25 clays each, ear defenders, ammunition.
