Clay Pigeon Shooting Grounds
Many years ago shooting live pigeons released from boxes, or 'traps' was a fashionable competitive sport, often involving large sums of money.
Then, at the beginning of the last century glass balls were substituted for live birds and these in turn were superseded by 'clay pigeons' - saucer shaped discs of baked ceramic material (often re-cycled mineral waste), soon after the clay pigeon shooting grounds were born.
Today clay pigeon shooting grounds offer a popular sport that covers all social classes, many women and children are enthusiastic competitors and it is one of the few sports in which the disabled can compete on level terms with able-bodied people.
Most shooting is done through clay pigeon shooting grounds or clubs with their own shooting layouts where there will be a series of traps - or launchers - which catapult the clays into the air to simulate a variety of wild quarry.
English sporting is the most popular discipline in the UK, clay pigeon shooting grounds builds courses to create targets that are as realistic as possible to live quarry, from the bolting rabbit, high pheasant, quartering pigeon to the rising teal.
Many people begin their shotgun shooting by learning on clay pigeons and it is the ideal way to gain experience without committing yourself to a large outlay. Clay pigeon shooting grounds will invariably have guns which the novice can borrow while making up their mind about taking up the sport in earnest.
Clay pigeon shooting can be a particularly attractive for those who live in towns or are limited in the amount of time that they can give to their sport. It can also be relatively inexpensive, compared with paying for a day's live quarry shooting.
