What better way is there to spend your last weekend of freedom than a jolly day's shooting? We start off with clay pigeons, great fun that even a vegetarian can enjoy. Chosen weapon is the Beretta 686 Sporting, a 12-gauge shotgun with a range of 70ft, which means if you're in the same half of a football field with a maniac who has one you're in trouble. The kickback and the noise scare the life out of you the first time, but once you get used to that even men like myself, who in a war would be given jobs delivering letters back home, can get a couple of hits.
Then there's target shooting, hitting a load of beer cans an American photofit of a man with a mullet. The .22 rifle has what they call an "accurate killing range" of 50ft, while the .177 Airsoft can manage 30ft.

Off-road vehicles that reach 30mph, mud buggies are ideal for any young lotto winner with money enough to buy his own grounds. This will be your best chance to race against your stag mates directly, and for the chance to prove just who is daddy. The only downer for us was we'd just enjoyed a week of glorious sunshine, so there was no mud to be had, when the whole point is to get the groom covered in sh*t.
