The Game
Clayshot at Spinners takes the thrill of clay shooting and brings it indoors, with no mud, no weather and no ear defenders required. Shoulder a realistic shotgun, track the flying clays across a huge projector screen and see how many you can shoot before they're gone.
Created by expert clay shooters and built for everyone, Clayshot uses laser shotguns and camera tracking, so every shot is picked up and scored automatically. The screens show the action, the system keeps count and your group provides the commentary.
With game modes for every skill level and live scoring, every round brings something new. There's no experience needed and nothing complicated to learn. Just step up, take aim and time your shot as the clay flies.
Realistic shotguns, flying clays and plenty of friendly rivalry.
Clayshot is one of seven games at Spinners. Pair it with food and drinks, bring the crowd with a group package, or make it a gift with a Spinners voucher.
Laser shotguns, camera tracking.
Want a steady start? Pick an easier mode to warm up. Ready to raise the stakes? Switch to a tougher setting and see who can keep shooting when the clays get quicker.
Here’s the secret real clay shooters know: you apply lead to the target. You want to aim ahead of the target in its direction of travel, so your shot arrives where the clay is going, not where it’s been. It takes a couple of shots to get your eye in, and once it clicks, it’s seriously satisfying.
Your host has you covered. They’ll show you the best way to stand and shoot before you start, so you’ll be breaking clays in no time.
Every shot, scored automatically.
Clayshot is an indoor, virtual version of clay shooting. Players use realistic laser shotguns to shoot at clays flying across a large projector screen, while cameras track every shot and score it automatically.
It was created by expert clay shooters and designed so that anyone can pick it up in minutes, with no experience, licences or ear defenders required.
It’s inspired by the real thing, without the need for a real shotgun, recoil or the rain! The skill transfers directly: you track a moving clay, lead your target by aiming slightly ahead of it and time your shot.
The shotguns are weighted to feel realistic, and the technique you learn at the peg is the same one used on a real clay ground, just with a bar a few steps away.
We have broken the differences down in full in our guide to Clayshot vs clay pigeon shooting.
Clayshot uses laser shotguns and camera tracking. The cameras pick up exactly where each laser shot lands on the screen, score it instantly and update the leaderboard as you play.
It’s clever tech, but there’s nothing for you to operate. Just aim and shoot.
Each Clayshot peg takes up to 8 players. If your group is bigger, our booking system will automatically split you across multiple pegs.

A standard Clayshot booking lasts for 55 minutes. Some venues may occasionally offer promotional 30-minute slots.
Session lengths and availability can vary, so check the details shown when booking your chosen venue.
There are no age restrictions for Clayshot, but all children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
The shotguns are fairly heavy and designed to feel realistic, so younger players may need a helping hand to hold and aim them.

No experience is needed. Clayshot is designed for social players, including complete first-timers.

Yes. The cameras track every shot and update the scores as you play. There’s nothing to count and nothing to write down.
Simply enter each player’s name before you begin and follow the scores on screen throughout the session.
Lead the target. Aim slightly ahead of the clay as it moves, so your shot arrives where the clay is going. Shooting straight at it usually means shooting behind it.
Keep the shotgun moving smoothly as you track the clay, and squeeze the trigger rather than snatching at it. Watching the players before you will help you judge the speed of the clays.
There’s a fence in front of the projector screen, and the technology will pick up your shot from wherever you stand. Your host will demonstrate the best way to stand and shoot before you begin.
You won’t need any shooting gear, but we operate a smart casual dress code. Sportswear isn’t permitted, including jogging bottoms, team shirts, tracksuits and sports shorts.
Within that, wear something comfortable that allows you to move freely. You will be shouldering and swinging the shotgun, so nothing too restrictive. Full details are in our booking terms.
