Clay shooting in North Yorkshire

Clay shooting in North Yorkshire

Clay shooting is the art of recreating a day of live quarry shooting, with the key difference being that you shoot a variety of clay targets instead of live game. One of the benefits of clay shooting is that it can be practiced throughout the year, whereas traditional shooting is seasonal.
