Clay Target Shooting - Instruction
Over 70% of our guests who come for lessons with us at the Shooting School in Perthshire, Scotland have never shot before. For this reason it is crucial that the level of instruction we offer is of the highest possible calibre.
All our instructors are crack shots and many have competed at national and international levels in clay pigeon shooting events all over the world. They combine the skill and technique of winning marksmen with the patience and humour of the top class teacher.
Our instructors will do everything to make you feel at ease with your gun. Using the time-honoured method of example, they'll teach you how to stand, where to point and when to fire. They'll teach you how to "break" your gun, how to load it and above all, how to shoot safely.
The day's shooting can be organised whichever way you wish. If you are a small party, an individual out for a bit of practice, or a total beginner, things can be kept very relaxed and informal. But if you are a large group, perhaps on a corporate day out, then we are more than happy to arrange a morning's lessons and an afternoon competition making the day an exciting event.
