Clay Pigeon Shooting vs Golf
 |
We all need something to take our minds off the stress and hassle of day to day work. If we don’t have some kind of hobby or activity that we enjoy doing to take our minds off things, then wed end up having break downs or who knows what else. Golf and clay pigeon shooting are two of the most popular sports that people take up for this reason.
One difference between the two sports (aside from the obvious) is the level of physical fitness that’s required in order to play golf at a reasonable standard. The swing of the club and the hitting of the ball requires a reasonable amount of effort and it can become quite tiresome keeping it up round the whole course. Shooting does require some physical strength as you will have to hold the gun up and follow the clay with it until you pull the trigger, but there is generally less effort involved in shooting so if you have any inherent injuries they’re more likely to affect your golf than your shooting.
Another big different is the time it takes to complete a round of golf compared to going round a clay pigeon shoot. 18 holes of golf takes around 3 hours but to go round a clay pigeon shoot will only take between 1 and 2 even if you shoot up to 100 clays. So where clay pigeon shooting can be done in a couple of hours you generally have to set aside half of the day to take part of to practice.
Another key difference is that as a Golfer, you become a member of a club, so as tied primarily to that club for your games. As you in essence only have 18 holes to shoot at you are therefore limited to the variety of targets available to you. With clay pigeon shooting, shooting at one ground is not as restrictive as the possible variety of targets that can be set up is endless. Membership fees at shooting grounds tend to be much less than at Golf clubs. Most grounds will change their layouts on a regular basis so you never have a change to get bored.
Whichever sport you choose to unwind and relax with, just remember to always try and play for fun rather than competition, otherwise the stress free relaxation that you went there to find will be gone almost completely.
