The art of blowing a moving clay target to smithereens with a shotgun is as old as the rolling countryside that surrounds Plovdiv. It's also a quality opportunity for some proper stag party fancy dress. Flat caps and britches at the ready, boys. It's time to play landed gentry for an afternoon of unadulterated fun!
Never tried clay pigeon shooting before? Don't worry. An experienced firearms handler will be with you throughout the day, first to give a safety briefing and instruction and then to help you with the finer points of tracking and firing.
You'll need to lead your target if you want to make a clean kill. Get the sights of your shotgun in front of the clay, breathe in and anticipate the path of the 'bird' before you pull the trigger. Be prepared for the noise - even through ear protectors, a shotgun blast kicks like a mule!
Put a stag party classic into the mix on your Plovdiv weekend. There's nothing like getting out in the country to blow off those hangovers, and a day of gentleman's pursuits will make a nice contrast to all those Bohemian nights. Pump the shells into the breech and get competitive!
