If you're searching for a clay pigeon shooting experience that goes beyond the usual taster lessons and takes you a little more in-depth, you might want to consider the extended Shooting Lessons in Bedfordshire. These half-day sessions are hosted at a friendly gun club located north of Bedford, which comes equipped with the Shooting Lodge clubhouse and gun shop. During the lesson, you'll receive intensive shooting tuition that is ideal for anyone looking to take up clay pigeon shooting as a hobby.
The instructors hosting the lessons are all full Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA) academy coaches with years of experience behind them. As a result, you'll be in good hands and get a real insight into the thrill and exhilaration of shooting. The lessons begin in the classroom, giving you a decent amount of knowledge and know-how before you handle a gun.
It's easy to 'have a go' by aiming at a few clays and probably missing most of them, but to hit the targets properly takes time. These clay shooting lessons include the eye dominance test and stance tuition, so you can get that 'pigeon' straight in your sights before firing the shotgun.
On each of the clay shooting lessons, you'll have up to 50 pigeons to shoot at. With top-notch training beforehand, you can expect to hit a good few of the targets and start showing signs of being an experienced shot. This experience makes for an ideal gift for anyone who is keen on taking up clay pigeon shooting as a hobby.
