Lasers Clay Pigeon Shooting is a safe and user friendly and safe alternative to the sport of Clay Pigeon shooting. Clay Pigeon shooting is an Olympic sport which originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1800’s. It was designed to allow shooters to ‘practice’ shooting a moving targets, similar to game.
From these beginnings, the sporting discipline of Clay Pigeon shooting evolved. It is now a recognised Olympic Sport, at which in recent years Australians have excelled.
Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting, uses the same concept of aiming and hitting moving “clay disc’, targets but with an electronic signal sent out and returned on contact with a specially designed reflective clay pigeon. No actual projectiles a fired from the guns. An infrared light beam, with the same spread and range of a shotgun is emitted from the gun when the trigger is pulled. The shooter gets two shots at each clay.
When the signal comes into contact with the flying clay, it is reflected back into the gun barrel, and then transferred to an electronic scoreboard which brings up ‘hits’ and ‘misses’. There are sound effects for the hits and missed shots
The electronic signals and infrared beams are harmless and the realistic sound effects from the scoreboard are volume controlled and can be varied to suit environmental restrictions.
The clays are physically thrown from an automated launcher, and can reach distances of up to 75 metres. The clays fly and the height, pitch and speed of the trajectory vary for each action, and can be adjusted to suit all levels of participant. The clays are retrieved and reused. They also float, so we can easily run the activity on a waterfront or vessel.
