    Archery, Air Rifles and Clay Pigeon Shooting

    October 19, 2016 / No Comments

    One sunny summer day not so long ago, Martin and Sam left the London RLD offices to head to Riseley in Bedfordshire, for the ultimate experience test of hand-to-eye co-ordination: archery, air rifle and clay pigeon shooting. They weren’t quite sure what to expect, but they were quite sure they were up for some competition!
