A man shooting clay pigeons.If you are looking for a corporate team-building activity, or an unforgettable stag or hen do (or ‘sten’ do, if you don’t hold with traditional pre-wedding shenanigans), then clay pigeon shooting might be the perfect choice for you! Here’s a look at why it ticks all the boxes, and how to plan for a successful party at our first-class Bristol range.

 

3 great reasons to try clay pigeon shooting

Accessible to all

Anyone can take part in clay pigeon shooting, regardless of their knowledge or skill level. It’s a supportive atmosphere and our well qualified instructors will soon have everyone hitting their targets. 

Perfect for team-building

Whether you want to strengthen a team or just enjoy a sense of camaraderie with your mates, clay pigeon shooting is a natural choice. It will encourage communication, mutual support, and the mastering of a new skill together, which can help to strengthen bonds and help everyone get to know each other better.

Outdoor fun

The beautiful outdoor setting amid open countryside and woodlands is a refreshing setting and a pleasant change if you have an office job. Shooting at clay targets can also be a great stress-buster, so by the end of the day everyone should be in a great mood!

 

Tips for a successful group party

Plan well ahead of time

Book the event well in advance, particularly if it’s for a large group or at peak times such as mid-summer. This will make sure that you get your preferred time and date, and will have the best chance that all the invitees are available. Plan your transport to the venue, making sure that you arrive in good time for safety briefings and so on.

Encourage friendly competition

If you want to spice things up a little, organise some mini competitions or challenges to build up the excitement, maybe with a few tempting prizes for the best performers. 

Have fun and enjoy the team spirit

Above all, relax and enjoy the sense of camaraderie as you learn a new skill with your mates or work colleagues. Don’t forget to appoint a photographer to capture the action for your social media, and pack some snacks and drinks to keep everyone energised and refreshed. 

Combine it with another activity

If the challenge of clay pigeon shooting is not enough for you, or you want to turn the event into an all-day affair, then consider combining it with another fun activity such as quad biking. This is another perfect way to bond as a team as you explore the beautiful grounds and woodlands here at Weston Lodge. 

Don’t worry if you are a complete beginner, because we will start you off on the practice ground and talk you through the basic manoeuvres such as turning and reversing. When you are comfortable with that, you can let loose on our specially designed course packed with thrilling tight turns and jumps.
