A low, dry wind moves across scrub and pines as the instructor checks the over-under shotgun and calls a gentle warning: the clay will fly, and the shooter must decide when to commit. The range sits just outside Paphos, where terraced fields slope toward the sea and each shattered disk echoes like a small, bright punctuation in the air. Participants rotate through stations—trap, skeet, and a few sporting-clays scenarios—learning to read target angles and manage recoil.
