Gear up to Catch Fish on High-Tech Fishing Kayaks
Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy all kinds of waters and fish species aboard the latest fishing kayaks. These kayaks range from simple paddle kayaks to advanced, electric-motor powered mini-battlewagons that suit every angler’s skill level and budget.
To keep fishing skills sharp during the long summer months, sporting clays ranges across Florida offer a challenging experience. Sporting clays involves launching disk-shaped clay targets or “birds” from automated mechanical throwing machines at different angles for a variety of shooting scenarios. Each station in the facility delivers a different set of angles that simulate flying or ground game.
Generally, clay ranges have 10 to 15 stations determined by each establishment. Shooters can expect to encounter single or simultaneous targets, and the combinations can be challenging, making them great training for hunters during the off-season. It is essential to follow all safety precautions, such as wearing ear and eye protection, traveling with an unloaded weapon, and using light loads with no more than 2 shells in the gun.
The cost of the sporting clays experience is dependent on the number of targets shot by the shooter. Prices average around 50 cents per clay, and golf cart and shotgun rentals are available at different establishments.
