What is included in a HENS clay shooting session?
• 2 hour shooting session or an option of 1 hour (groups up to 6 people) – so you get good at shooting clays out of the sky!
• Exclusive range for just your Hens group
• Safety briefing
• One-on-one instruction from qualified staff
• Unlimited supervised targets for the duration, usually each participant shoots around 25-50 targets in the 2 hours which is plenty for beginners
• Ammunition – from competition loads to low recoil options
• Use of Firearms – we have firearms to suit tall to tiny people (12g and .410g)
• Use of shooting equipment – earplugs, earmuffs, shooting glasses, shooting jackets
• Range fees, insurance and temporary club membership are covered
• Temporary “licensing” for unlicensed shooters
• Cold water available throughout the session
• We endeavour to take photos of each participant shooting for free download after the session
• Autographed clay target from Olympic Champ Suzy Balogh to take home
You don’t need to have a firearms licence BUT to be able to shoot you will need to follow the Unlicensed Shooter Instructions.
Upon arrival at the outdoor shooting range, you’ll fill in a NSW Police declaration form before getting kitted up. You’ll be wearing a shooting jacket, safety glasses and earplugs. A safety briefing will follow, you will be shown how to handle the gun safely, how to hold it and how the ammunition works. You will then fire at clay targets from safety frames with one-on-one instruction.
You’ll first begin with easy single incoming targets. Once your aim gets better and you feel more confident we will increase the variety. Doubles, pairs, outgoing and crossing targets will reveal who is the best and most accurate shooter.
As a memento of your session, you’ll take home an autographed clay target.
