Clay Shooting

In Clay Target shooting there is no such thing as a lucky shot. Athletes train for hours. Intense concentration repeatedly sharpened to pin-point precision. Arms that can absorb repeated kick-backs. Nerve and skill, fused together in steely flesh.“Pull!”The inverted saucers are released, flying in different directions like a souped-up game of Space Invaders.But this isn’t a game –. Competing in the shotgun discipline, Welsh clay shooter Ben Llewellin will appear in his first Commonwealth Games – he is currently ranked as fifth in the world. David Phelps, winner of a gold medal in the 2006 Melbourne Games, will also make an appearance for the team. Team Wales consists of a team of 11 shooters across all disciplines.

With John being Scotland's number one Olympic Trap Clay Pigeon shot, clients will soon realise that they are in for an amazing experience under John's expert guidance. He has competed on the world stage for Great Britain at World Cups, World/European Championships and the Commonwealth Games.

If you are looking for one-to-one tuition or just to have some fun either as an individual or a group then look no further. As we have a mobile clay pigeon system we can either travel to your location throughout the area, or use one of our own locations. We can offer clay pigeon shooting and rifle shooting - or both as a package for something a little different. Both require a high level of concentration but with differing techniques.

Shooting is carried out in a safe environment and includes all equipment required. As we encourage and support minimal damage to the environment, we only use non-toxic steel shot and biodegradable clay targets.
