Clay Pigeon is so much fun. I was expecting that none of us were going to hit a thing especially when our instructor showed us the clays (about 10-15 cms big!) but we all managed to hit quite a few. Probably down to the fact that the shot guns had a giant spray area! The only drawback to today was that it was frickin’ cold. Even with a fleece and thermal I was cold – and everyone knows if I’m cold then everyone else must have been freezing!

For £40 we each got 50 shots which is actually fairly standard for these packages I guess. 20 shots were warm up and then 30 in competition. To my surprise I did okay at first though I really didn’t feel like I was even aiming. I was looking form but cracked under pressure. Kudos to James who took the trophy in trying conditions.
