Before you ask.

It's the usual case. You get a safety briefing first, and you can book an instructor or a loader to stand beside you for the day at an added cost. The first drive is for finding your feet. Nobody expects a hit on the first clay.

A lot. A simulated game day is four to six drives, each fifteen to twenty-five minutes with hundreds of clays coming over. Most shooters fire four to five hundred shots in a day. Every one is scored.

Nothing you'll notice. It's a small camera clipped to the barrel, out of your sightline, and it records every shot. It goes on at the briefing and comes off at the end.

Between drives you plug the camera into the dock at the hub. Your shots are scored and on the leaderboard in about ten minutes, before the next drive starts.

A scorecard, shot by shot, and a reel of your best breaks, about two minutes long. Both arrive by email within five working days, with a link to watch, download and send to the group chat.

Days are booked through Clay Days today. Pick a date and a ground, bring your group, and the scoring comes with it.

You get a nearly, and the clip to show how close it was. Everyone misses. The scorecard shows an empty disc and moves on.

No. Most grounds have guns to hire for the day. You need to be eighteen or over and to have public liability insurance, which BASC or the Countryside Alliance can sort out. Cartridges and clays are included in a Clay Days day.

You do, and the ground running your day. Your reel goes to you, and nothing is posted anywhere unless you share it yourself.

Light rain goes ahead. Bring a coat and boots. If the ground calls the day off, it will tell you and you'll be refunded in full.

Yes. A ground can run ClayFlight under its own name, with a "Scored by ClayFlight" badge on the scorecard and reel. Get in touch and we'll talk it through.

Safety on the day is the ground's job and it comes first. ClayFlight only watches and scores. The camera records what happens and never changes how the day is run.
