Is Clay Shooting Safe?
Clay shooting is one of the safest sports in the UK. Very occassionally you may get debris from broken clays falling back towards you so shooting glasses to protect your eyes is compulsory. Wearing a hat (most people wear a baseball cap) is a good idea too, to protect your scalp. The debris can be quite sharp, but these precautions should prevent any injury. Ear defenders are also compulsory to prevent tinnitus or deafness resulting from the sound of the shotgun. Eye and ear protection is available from the clubhouse. You can collect a free business card sized safety checklist courtesy of Fultons Shooting School from Reception.
