Clay Pigeon Shooting
Clay Pigeon Shooting garners its roots from the United Kingdom, and remains a popular pastime to this day. Clay pigeon shooting, also know as clay target shooting, involves firing at a flying clay target. Clay sporting is the most common discipline, and involves targets being thrown in a variety of angles, speeds, trajectories, distances and elevations. It tests the skill and response time of the shooter, and most closely resembles the shooting of live quarry.
Just a short distance from the Inn on Bath Creek lies Hunter’s Pointe Sporting Clays Club. Established as a premier sporting clays range over 20 years ago, Hunter’s Pointe is an ideal shooting range for experienced sportsmen and novice enthusiasts. It offers shotgun and pistol shooting, alongside a variety of clay target shooting options.
