• Paphos - Experience Overview:
  This is a clay shooting adventure using an over-under shotgun. Clay pigeon shooting is a sport where participants use shotguns to target flying objects, known as “clays.” These targets are usually disc-shaped and made from pitch and clay or similar materials, designed to break upon impact. The clays are launched into the air by a machine called a trap, simulating the flight of birds. It is both a competitive sport and a recreational activity. Shooters aim to break the clays mid-air, requiring skill in timing, aim, and firearm handling.

The sport includes several variations, such as:
• Skeet Shooting: Shooters move through a semicircle of stations, firing at clays launched from two fixed points (a high and low trap) in predictable patterns.
• Trap Shooting: Targets are launched away from the shooter at varying angles from a single trap, testing accuracy and adaptability.
• Sporting Clays: This involves a course with multiple stations, each offering unique target trajectories to mimic real hunting scenarios.

Important note: Display photos show Paphos and Limassol clubs. If you wish to try the Limassol experience, additional charges apply.

Clay pigeon shooting offers a distinctive experience for several reasons, combining physical prowess, mental concentration, and a connection to nature and tradition that is difficult to match.

1. Dynamic Challenge: Unlike stationary target shooting, clay pigeons are moving targets, launched at speeds of 50-70 mph and in unpredictable paths, particularly in sporting clays.

2. Immersion in the Outdoors: Most clay shooting takes place on ranges set in natural environments such as fields, forests, or hills.

3. Variety and Adaptability: Each discipline, whether skeet, trap, or sporting clays, provides a unique experience.

4. Instant Feedback: When a clay is hit, it shatters dramatically in mid-air, leaving no doubt about success.

5. Social and Solitary Balance: It is often a group activity, with participants rotating through stations, sharing tips or engaging in friendly conversation.

6. Skill Progression: Beginners can enjoy the sport with basic guidance, as hitting a clay is not as difficult as it seems, but achieving mastery requires years of practice.
