At Dromoland Castle
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of picking a fast-moving target right out of thin air. It’s exhilarating…and incredibly compelling. (You just have to hit one more!) Clay shooting is an enormous amount of fun. Even if you’ve never handled a gun before. Even if you don’t think you could hit the broad side of a barn. You might be surprised by what’s possible with a deep breath, a steady hand, and the encouragement of a patient, professional instructor. More than one crack shot has been born on the Dromoland Castle shoot range. Could you be the next?
A favourite country pursuit of royalty, clay pigeon shooting offers you the chance to shoot flying targets in the air. Dromoland Castle’s leafy estate makes an atmospheric setting for this fun sport, which can be enjoyed all year around. Using international sporting traps for groups or individuals, it presents an engrossing and skilled challenge. All that’s required are calm concentration, a keen eye and quick reactions.
The more competitive of hotel residents will enjoy perfecting your aim, timing your shots and counting up your ‘kills’. Of course these are clay ‘pigeons’, not real birds, making it a suitable activity for all ages and abilities.
