Do you need planning permission for a clay pigeon shooting?
In the UK You can shoot for 28 days a year without planning permission. If you need further details check out the countryside alliance at www.countryside-alliance.org. You can try the CPSA but they are not very good they are very keen to take money for your ground to be CPSA registered but not so keen to help if you get served with a noise abatement order. Many clay shoots love the idea of a course that tests the best of shooters, but at low level you are better to have a shoot where beginners can feel fairly accomplished. So 1 to 2 corporate type targets, the majority intermediate and maybe 1 very testing stand, and if you have the space and traps a have a go stand where complete beginners can have a go is ideal. Most of all keep it safe.
