What is a simulated game shoot?
A simulated game shoot replicates the experience of traditional game shooting using clay targets instead of live birds. These clays are launched in a way that mimics the flight patterns of pheasants, partridges, grouse, ducks, and pigeons, providing an exciting and challenging shooting experience in a safe and eco-friendly environment.
