Before you join the clay pigeon “hunt” it’s important to read over these safety shooting tips:
1. Ear protection
Rifles are extremely loud and can potentially damage your ears so it is important that you have proper ear protection with you when you hit the range.
2. Eye protection
Flying clay debris is possible when shooting clay pigeons and can cause serious damage so ensure you’re protected with proper eye protection.
3. Never drink alcohol before a shoot
Alcohol may impair your reactions and your judgments so don’t risk drinking before your shoot.
4. Never point a gun at someone else
Even if your gun isn’t loaded don’t point it at anyone else because accidents can happen! Only ever point your gun at your target or down range when you’re not shooting.
5. Wear good shoes
You might have to walk across moors or grassy fields to get to your shoot so sturdy footwear is a must to reduce slips and trips!
