Northern Ireland's leading clay pigeon shooting facility, Foymore Lodge Country Pursuits, will coordinate all the clay pigeon shooting competitions at the National Countrysports Fair this year.

The Burnside Clay Pigeon Club from Co. Antrim has been appointed to run 40 target re-entry sporting clay pigeon shoot and at the event.  This, along with a "pool Trap" will run on both days with generous cash prices for the winning shooters.

The clay pigeon shoots will commence at 10:00 each day of the fair with the last cards being issued to shooters at 16:00.  Competitors should note that only fibre/bio-degradable wad cartridges can be shot at the clay events at the National Countrysports Fair to negate any damage to the environment. 

The clay shoots at the National Countrysports Fair are re-entry competitions. Shooters should note that if they are registered in any discipline of clay pigeon shooting they will be considered as "classified" shooters for competition purposes at the this event. 

There is forward car parking for clay pigeon competitors who should follow the "Clay Shoot" directional signs when approaching the fair. 

BASC Coaching Line  The British Association for Shooting & Conservation (BASC) will man a Shotgun Shooting Coaching Line on both days of the fair.  Anyone over the age of 18 years can try their hand at clay pigeon shooting here under the guidance of BASC accredited shooting coaches. This was a very oversubscribed event last year and whilst there is no need to pre-register for the coaching line, those wishing to have-a-go at clay pigeon shooting may be allocated a time slot.  Staff on the BASC stand at the clay pigeon shoot will take entries throughout the days of the event.
