Justin was really good and covered just about every target and spent good time setting up the comb on my gun stock that made all the difference.

Great ground. Excellent teaching.
Efficient, welcoming reception. Able & friendly coach who helped my 2 teenagers relax and then created a mini-competition for a bit of inter-sibling rivalry to maintain focus and interest. All equipment was of good quality and the ground was extremely well equipped. Will be coming again. 5 stars

Ashcombe Shooting Ground archery experience.
Justin the GB archery instructor managed in the space of an hour to teach me and my two young adult children how to hold and use a bow safely and correctly and to hit the centre zone of the target. We learned safety in approaching and removing arrows from the target but above all he made it a fun experience which we would be happy to repeat if we are ever down in Dawlish again. Thank you Justin and all at Ascombe Shooting Ground
