If you’re passionate about shooting sports but find yourself eagerly awaiting the traditional game season, simulated clay shooting days are the perfect solution. Widely available across the UK, these events offer a thrilling, sociable and affordable way to keep your shooting skills sharp while enjoying fantastic days out in the countryside.
Here’s why simulated clay shooting has rapidly become one of Britain’s most popular countryside activities.
Experience game-shooting excitement, any time of the year
Simulated clay shooting days replicate the excitement and challenges of traditional game shooting, using clay targets instead of live birds. Expertly designed drives offer realistic scenarios, simulating pheasant, partridge, grouse or duck flights. With no closed season, simulated days provide shooters with year-round entertainment, bridging the long months until the real game season begins again.
Affordable and accessible to everyone
Unlike traditional game shooting, which can be costly and exclusive, simulated clay shooting is incredibly affordable, often costing a fraction of a live game day. Typical prices start from as low as £120 per person for a full day’s shooting, including thousands of clays, cartridges, refreshments and lunch—making it a fantastic value day out.
Widely available throughout the UK
Whether you live in Scotland, Wales, England or Northern Ireland, you’ll find simulated clay shooting days available nearby. Dozens of estates, shooting schools and countryside venues offer expertly run simulated shoots. The widespread availability ensures you’ll never be far from a great day out, regardless of your location.
An incredibly sociable event
One of the most appealing aspects of simulated clay shooting days is their sociable nature. Groups of friends, family members or corporate teams frequently attend these events, fostering camaraderie, healthy competition and lasting memories. Whether you’re an experienced shooter or a complete beginner, the friendly atmosphere makes simulated clay days welcoming to everyone.
Lots of targets—Lots of fun
Unlike traditional clay pigeon shooting, simulated clay days feature high-volume shooting. With thousands of clays released throughout multiple drives, there’s always something to shoot at, challenging shooters of every skill level. This non-stop action means you’ll never find yourself bored or waiting too long for the next target—ensuring maximum excitement and enjoyment.
