For Immediate Release February 2005
Are you ready to Pull? Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a Big Shot? If the answer is yes then look no further than Hotbarrels Clay Pigeon Shooting, a fantastically addictive shooting simulation game, brought to you by Focus Multimedia.
Shooting is one of the largest and fastest growing participation sports in the UK, and is enjoyed by a wide variety of people of all ages and backgrounds on a regular basis. Now, you can experience the challenge of clay pigeon shooting from your own home and see for yourself why over one million shooting fans are addicted to this exciting hobby!
From beginner to expert, to those who are simply curious about the sport, Hotbarrels Clay Pigeon Shooting offers hours of fun for everyone. The addictive nature of the game and that 'just one more go' appeal will have you battling against family and friends to achieve the top score!
The realistic simulation allows you to experience the variety and challenge of a competitive sporting clay pigeon layout set in the beautiful grounds of the Harewood estate in Yorkshire.
The realism of this game has even been remarked upon by the CEO of the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association, Philip Boakes, who commented: "The targets thrown are very realistic and would challenge the co-ordination of an amateur up to an expert. The novice can progress as well as an individual at a clay shooting range."
Play in one or two player modes on 'novice' or 'expert' levels, and choose from one of 10 individual stands designed to closely represent how an animal moves in the wild. Includes:
- Decoyed Pigeon
- Duck
- Driven Grouse
- Partridge
- High Pheasant
- Woodcock
- Bolting Rabbit
- Snipe
- Springing Teal
Discover and memorise the characteristics of each stand before attempting the 'Shooting Challenge'. Tackle all of the stands in order before moving on to the challenging 'Flush' stand where you will be faced with all kinds of quarry to look out for and shoot. Good Shooting!
