Had an amazing time!

What a fantastic way to spend time outdoors! Friendly people and patient instructor. Shooting may be a bit difficult at start, but once you get the hang of it, you just want to go on and on :) Great opportunity for bonding with family, too.

Brilliant First-Time Shooting Experience!

We went clay pigeon shooting yesterday for my fiancé Sam’s birthday and had an absolutely brilliant time! Our instructor, Brett, was fantastic — friendly, charming, funny and incredibly professional. It was our first time shooting and he was so patient with us, making sure we felt safe and confident with the gun from the start.

Brett kept it fun throughout, giving us different targets to aim at and tailoring the session so it felt both exciting and achievable. The gun was powerful, but with his clear instructions and calm approach, we always felt in control.

It was a great experience from start to finish and one we’d highly recommend to anyone — whether you're a complete beginner or not. We’ll definitely be booking again soon and bringing our friends along next time!

It made my Dad’s birthday

It made my Dad’s birthday! I booked this as a surprise for my dad’s birthday, as he’s been wanting to do it for ages. My whole family had a fantastic time and we’re already talking about going back! Martin, the instructor, made the entire experience so much fun, offering great tips and guidance throughout. Thanks to his professionalism, patience, and excellent listening skills, he helped each of us make the perfect shot at the clays. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly!

Looking for a great time surrounded by beauty? Here's the place!

From beggining to the end of the experience it was fantastic! Booking simple, the grounds and facilities - well looked after! Staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. We had a large stag group doing a 50 clay pigeon shoot. Food at the facilities great quality and incredibly good value. First time going and we're definitely all going back - if you haven't been, worth a visit!! All expectations exceeded.

50 clay shoot experience

I booked a 50 clay shoot for my husbands birthday which lasted about 2 hours. We had so much fun and turned out to be fairly good at it considering it was out first time, so we will definitely be back with some more of our family members! The health and safety briefing at the start of the session was very good, they take it seriously and rightly so. Our instructor (Adrian) was really friendly and knowledgeable and helped us with our aiming etc so we got the most out of the session. We will definitely be back!

Was brilliant

Was brilliant. We turned up and was quickly put through to our instructor. Put into a car and driven to location. We were shown the shotgun, how to hold them, how to stand.
He then went through the clay pidgeon releases and guided us on how to aim giving us advice after each shot 👍

Thoroughly enjoyable day shooting clays

From the moment we arrived, till the experience of the clay pigeon shoot finished, we were well looked after
Instructor Gregor wasn’t only professional and extremely helpful, his banter and humour related to all age groups in our party of five
This experience was well worth the cost, and we’ll certainly recommend this to anyone who wants an exciting day out
Thanks again to Gregor and the team
