Clay 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and these in turn were superseded by 'clay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 shooting ground
was born.
Today clay 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 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 shooting grounds
built 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 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.
