We celebrated a few birthdays and let off some steam with a spot of Clay Shooting the other day. Lots of us hadn’t shot a gun before, and the 12 gauge shotguns and live ammo were mad fun!
Walking around the carpark seeing so many guys with guns out just felt so surreal. Seeing guns on picnic tables, guns everywhere! Shooting and hitting targets was actually easier than we all thought it would be. Olympic Champion Suzy Balogh was our instructor and she guaranteed us straight up that everyone would hit a target, and too right we were smashing targets over our 2 hour group experience.
Recoil wasn’t bad, though it was funny watching it catch a few people off guard! Ejecting shells is mad! Smells so good! We all left on a high, and we highly recommend it for anyone who’s never had a go. We all paid around $100/head and they use competition bullets made in Italy, considering they’re about $1.50/$2/bullet and you get 40 or so shots, that’s great value!

We even got to play with the controller which launches the clays.
B’Day boy Eddie at the ready.
Eddie’s Instagram is one that we actually love following, check it out (you’ll understand what’s going on in this picture!): http://instagram.com/laweddie
Finished off with a great pub meal at The Historic Como Hotel.
Lovely place, shame about all the power lines, right?!
