Very easy booked in
Very easy booked in, very well laid out shop, good cafe. Very good shoot layout, really enjoyed the morning with Mike the instructor. Thank you.
Absolutely awesome!
Absolutely awesome!! We came today as a 60th birthday experience for Angie. Alicia is a lovely lady, very knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. Both Angie and I managed to hit some clays and the experience far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended and we will be back :).
Excellent fun experience
Very friendly, knowledgeable instructor who put us at ease whilst maintaining strict health and safety protocols. It was easy to book online and we found the site with no difficulties. It is accessible to a point... if you wish to take part you need to be able to negotiate a small slope or climb approx 8 steps. I can walk small distances but used my wheelchair when on the range. The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient. It was a really great day out and one which we all want to do again soon. We were also blessed with a beautiful crisp February day's weather with no rain at all. Can't wait to go back but I want more shots.

Great day out
Great day out - excellent instructors - looking after a mixed Group (previous shooting experience and age) - plenty of patience, coaching and encouragement.
It was a great experience for all of us…
It was a great experience for all of us as we are deaf friends. Stephen who is instructor he was amazing, he had been patient with us as we are deaf we use British sign language so he was friendly and took his time with us. We felt comfortable with him, he encouraged us to do well on clay shooting.
Very Disappointing
Booked through The Big Shoot which was about £10 more per person than going direct which i accept. £55 per person for 25 clays each. This was a trip out for my son and I so i wanted it to be memorable. it was an 11 oclock start and we were both finished in 15-20 minutes. Friendly people but we used two stalls both of which had the same trajectory of the clay which was disappointing. You werent allowed to load your own gun and the instructor rattled through all the shots for both of us in 15-20 minutes. All in all a very disappointing visit as it would have been nice to spread it out over a longer period with different stalls with different trajectories of the clays and a little knowledge of loading the gun and gun handling. It was very basic to the point where even one of the stalls wasnt tall enough for me to stand up in so i had to duck. Very expensive and disappointing for a 15 minute shoot.
Had an amazing fun afternoon clay…
Had an amazing fun afternoon clay shooting, instructor was really knowledgeable and learned loads, cannot wait to book again!
First timers
First time shooters with a nervous wife and son but as soon as the first few shots went off it was on.
Our instructor was great, helped us be safe with the weapon and teach us how to shoot.
Highly recommend :)

Easy to book and kept informed throughout. Steve Smith shooting ground at Dinnington was a great experience
Instructor Tony was superb and explained everything ensuring our safety. We had a great time and would recommend without hesitation.
Very enjoyable second visit
Very enjoyable second visit, this time with family visiting from abroad. It made a good variation on a Christmas Eve country walk. Well organised, and the instructor was friendly, helpful and encouraging. We'll be back - it might become a family tradition!
Great to try out and see to learn more about clay shooting.
Easy to book and able to contact due to being a newbie as needed to check,as had children for the signed consent form.
The shooting experience was very enjoyable and we would go again in the new year!!
Adrian was great
Adrian was great, very knowledgeable with good, clear instructions, enabling us all to have a successful shoot. Had a great day with a group of 8 (6 shooters) and they had ample equipment for everyone.
