I went with the sole intention of trying out a semi-auto shotgun on clay targets. I was not disappointed. The clay target range was set up in a picturesque gully. It had three remote-controlled traps set up close to the shooting position, located on a covered balcony. The gun choices were a semi-auto, a pump action and a couple of under and over doubles. I fired 50 shells (I would have fired more but was a bit time-limited). The semi auto came into its own when my host, Steve, started releasing the 5 targets in very quick succession.
Steve was a great host . He knew his guns well and was fantastic company. At the end, I had a thoroughly enjoyable time using a firearm we can't use in Oz and I came away with a big smile on my face. I would thoroughly recommend this activity for both experienced shooters and for beginners wanting to try their hand at clay target shooting.
