The Perfect Outdoor Activity for Rainy Days
Don’t let the British weather spoil your plans! Unlike activities that leave you completely exposed to the elements, our laser clay shooting takes place under cover, giving you shelter while you take aim at the flying clays.
It’s a fantastic option when you’re looking for outdoor activities in Herefordshire but the forecast isn’t looking promising. Gather your friends, family or colleagues, test your reactions and compete for the highest score, whatever the weather has in store.
With views across the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, laser clay shooting offers the best of both worlds: an outdoor experience with shelter when you need it.
For the full Wild West experience, why not get into character? We have cowboy hats and neckerchiefs available for guests to wear, so you can dress the part, take aim at the flying clays and enjoy a little friendly competition with a proper cowboy feel!
A little bit more information about the activity
HOW DOES IT WORK
Participants use deactivated, authentic shotguns fitted with infrared laser systems instead of live ammunition. These guns are designed to mimic the weight and feel of traditional firearms.
Plastic clays are launched into the air by a mechanical trap, just like in traditional clay pigeon shooting.
An electronic scoring system tracks hits and displays them in real-time, adding a competitive edge.
GAMEPLAY
Participants stand side by side in shooting bays. When the clay pigeon is launched, up to 5 players aim and “fire” their laser gun. Sensors on the clays detect if they’ve been “hit” by a laser beam. If a hit is detected, the scoreboard updates with points for the shooter.
To enhance realism, the system includes built-in sound effects that replicate the sound of gunfire when the laser gun is fired and a hit is registered.
