Young Shot Days
The Ultimate Clay Shooting Experience for Young Shooters!
The CPSA (Clay Pigeon Shooting Association) holds Young Shots Days during school breaks, and Southdown Gun Club and Shooting School are pleased to be affiliated with the programme. If you’re looking to take part in Sussex, this is the shooting school to attend. These popular school holiday events are usually held 4 or 5 times a year. Dates are advertised across our social media pages. Please email or call us to ask when our next YSD will be.
These events are a fantastic day out for youngsters, offering a great introduction to Clay Pigeon Shooting or serving as a refresher for those with a bit more experience. The day is fully structured and supervised by our CPSA-qualified instructors, who will provide the highest level of instruction. Included in the tuition price are all clay targets, cartridges, use of a suitable shotgun, necessary safety equipment, lunch, and refreshments.
The day starts at 10:00 hrs with some classroom activity, covering important gun safety information and providing a basic introduction to shotguns and clay shooting. After that, we head out to the range for the first shooting session. After lunch, depending on skill levels, we may hold a mini competition, with a prize for the highest scorer. The day aims to finish around 15:30 hrs. The CPSA Young Shot Day is suitable for all children, both girls and boys, aged 10-16 years, with no previous experience necessary.
Beginners: incl 2x 30 clay shoots = £65
Intermediate/Advance: incl. 2x 40 clay shoots = £75
The numbers at these events are strictly limited, so it is advised that you book your child in early to avoid disappointment, we advertise these events on Facebook and here on our website.
