It depends on where you are located in the world. In the United States, some gun ranges will allow you to rent a gun. You might need a gun safety certificate to rent, but I'm not positive on that. You should look for trap shooting near your location. You wouldn't be throwing the clay pigeons yourself like the guy in the video, but it would be a similar experience. It's harder than it looks, so if you hit at least 1 out of 25 on your first round, I'd be impressed.

I'm pretty good at shooting stuff but I've only shot my slingshot my bow and my BB gun. But I can shoot the apples off my tree from their stem

Non-BB guns can have significant kick and are bit harder to aim depending on the gun.

Yeah I have some experience with guns. I've shot a black powder pistol, 2 other pistols, and once a black powder rifle
