Outdoors at Hay
If you want to have a fun but competitive day out and experience the thrill of hunting then we recommend you try our day of Huntin' & Shootin' in the field!

We have teamed up with a local clay shoot to put together a great day out. You can experience half the day being taught the important aspects of handling and firing a shotgun. You can then compete with your friends and family to see who can hit the most clays. With the help of the experienced instructors you'll soon be the top shot!

The other half of the day will be getting to grips with hunting with a bow, well practicing it anyway as it is illegal to hunt with a bow in the UK. We will teach you on the practice range how to load and use a bow safely and once we are happy everyone is safe we'll venture off into the woods to try a bit of field archery under the strict safety rules of the instructor.

When you walk through the woods you will be shown targets that represent animals and you get one shot at each. The challenge is that the target may be amongst the shrubs or between some trees and you can only shoot from the mark you are given. No changing location for a better aim, no second chance, just like hunting you get to see how good you really are!

Is this for you?

This activity is suitable for most abilities and can become quite competitive amongst groups. Some people can feel the strain after an intense period of shooting, but we provide protection equipment to ease the tension.

Why not book accommodation with us to make your adventure complete?
