Clay shooting

Clay pigeon shooting has steadily become a popular sport appealing to many including women and children. Clay pigeon shooting is the art of shooting at clay targets rather than harming live animals. It's a test of skill and accuracy and best of all requires no previous experience.

As the sport is designed to simulate game in the wild, i.e. ducks, pheasants and rabbits, clay shooting is a great way to experience the thrill and art of shooting without causing any harm to an animal. The targets or clay pigeons; used for the sport are usually in the shape of an inverted saucer or disc and are made from a mixture of pitch and chalk. Designed to withstand being thrown from traps at very high speeds these targets easily break when making impact with lead or steel pellets from a shotgun. Why not try your hand at clay shooting and test your skill and accuracy with a shotgun or rifle as you aim to hit the clay disc as it is shot in the air.

As a highly popular sport, clay shooting is available in most countries throughout Europe,so book your exclusive holiday accommodation through Villaway and be sure to include clay shooting on your holiday activity wish list.
