I blasted the pigeons at the range one time. I did well too. Had a ball. Realized afterwards that it would become a very expensive hobby. My spouse was not into me having expensive hobbies :lol:
It’s definitely not cheap. Luckily the place the kids shoot at covers the cost of their clays and doesn’t charge them to practice. They will also let them use a rental gun at no cost. They just needs to purchase shells or reload if they choose.
