Sporting Targets Reviews 

My wife and I had a great time today, a big thank you to Tony whose humour and patient coaching left us both feeling really happy and surprised that we actually managed to hit quite a few of the targets. Brilliant place and Tony was excellent, thanks to all

A big Thankyou to Tony for teaching us a mixed group of 7 ! Lots of laughs and great advice. Thanks again

Sporting Targets provided top-level hospitality for our shooting event for 30 guests. We couldn't have asked for more!

A great hour out!

My wife and I spent an hour being shown the ropes by a clearly very experienced and friendly CPSA instructor, John.

He clearly went over the essentials of safely handling a firearm and appropriate PPE, and even as complete novice guns (this was the first time either of us shot a shotgun) we were soon hitting the targets. He selected a smaller 20 gauge shotgun and less powerful shotgun shells to ensure my wife wasn't going to be too sore or thrown around, which we both appreciated.

Clear and simple advice on how to best handle the gun, position your body and aim for each target was given, and immediate feedback on what you were doing wrong was incredibly helpful.

The range of different targets presented was impressive, giving us a good idea of what clay pigeon shooting was about.

Between the various targets, John kept up an interesting conversation on various aspects of shooting, which was enjoyable.

A great day out, and once my wife's muscles recover from holding something that heavy, I imagine we'll be back!

Good place and i had great experience. Recommended

From the moment we arrived we received amazing customer service, from the lady on reception to Tony, who looked after us for the 90 minute experience. A throughly enjoyable day for my son’s 18th birthday, thank you.

My dealings with the gunshop have been a pleasure. David was friendly knowledgeable and highly professional and I would throughly recommend Sporting Targets from my experience
Many thanks.

Recently held our Christmas works party up at Sporting Targets and have to say were thoroughly impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. We were split in to two teams due to the size of our party so had two instructors in Graham and John. These guys were fantastic. The majority of our party had very minimal shooting experience but were made to instantly feel at ease. The passion these guys had for their work was so refreshing, coupled with great humour and professionalism make for a top experience. Would encourage anyone who's thinking of going up to Sporting Targets to get booked and go. We shall certainly be returning. Many Thanks.

We had really great and most enjoyable time you can imagine! Even with almost no experience with guns, with great heap from our instructor we were able to hit lot of a targets! 100% recomennding it, and will be back here for sure.

Great day at Sporting Targets with Country Girls UK - Our instructor Graham was very patient and made everything fun and enjoyable for all of us. The food was also excellent and I will definitely be back with my other half to book a lesson in for him.
Many thanks!

My boyfriend bought me this experience as a birthday present. We both had a wonderful time, I was a little nervous but I was soon put at ease by our instructor Jezz, who made this experience so much more amazing with his guidance and expertise! The staff was also lovely. Loved it and will definitely do it again and recommend it.

Sporting Targets hosted my first large event, a memorial shoot in memory of my mum, Shani Boswell, on 16th October 2021 via The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club.

I had 49 ladies attend, half of whom had never shot before, and can not praise and thank all the staff enough for making the day a huge success for me.

Great, friendly instructors, welcoming and supportive reception ladies. Good choice of stands that suited all the ability’s booked on; from never shot before to experienced.

Thank you Andrew and team for helping make my event such a success and it was a pleasure to be able to hold it at such a great ground.

Thank you

This is the second time I have organised an event with Sporting Targets and they never fail to impress. The facilities are well maintained, the staff are friendly and the value for money is excellent. I particularly recommend the junior tasting sessions for teen parties. I will definitely be booking again.

I was brought this experience for my birthday from a friend. I had a wonderful time, as I have never held a gun before I was a little nervous but I was soon put at ease by my instructor Jezz, he was very encouraging and before long with his instructions, I was hitting the clays. Loved it and would definitely do it again and recommend it.

Fantastic experience
My wife booked clay archery and crossbow. Tony our instructor was excellent and very knowledgeable

I organised a corporate day for my team. Setting this up could not have been easier with great communication all through the booking from Angela.
On the day everyone had a great time with the coaching team at Sporting targets getting everyone into the swing of things and making the event fun for all. The flurry at the end was a fantastic end to a great day.
Thoroughly recommended.

We went as family of 6 for a 30th Birthday experience day. 3 males, 3 females aged 18-57 and what a great time we had. Clay pigeon shooting followed by archery and rifle shooting. Our guide Rob was absolutely fabulous helping us all every step of the way with instruction, hints and tips to ensure we had success in each activity. A really great guy who was full of stories and who definitely represented the company extremely well. The site is neat and tidy, well organised and we received a warm welcome at reception with complementary tea and coffee. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a a fun day out and very reasonably priced too. Thank you Rob and sporting targets. The Warner family.

My 13 year old son and my dad had a 1 hour clay pigeon shooting experience for two here. The instructor, Jezz, was very kind and helpful. He was extremely encouraging. My son is now very keen to come back - unfortunately we live some way away, but we will return.

Looking at some of the reviews on here, it sounds like the staff are consistently very good, which is very encouraging to hear.

We were able to watch my son and dad having their session, and it was under cover, with a picnic bench to sit at, so we could enjoy it close-up, despite the rain. We also had the free tea, coffee and hot chocolate and all ate lunch at the restuarant, which was very reasonably priced. A lovely establishment, which I thoroughly recommend.

Excellent experience!
My wife bought me a shooting experience for 4 with red letter days. As a family of 4 we booked with ease and arrived today. We were warmly welcomed and introduced to John who we spend the session with. John was professional, helpful and genuinely a great instructor.
We had such a great day, we would recommend this to anyone and will look to do this again in the future.

My 12 year old daughter and I had a brilliant experience at Sporting Targets today. An unusual choice you might think for a Mum and Daughter but we were both made very welcome. We did archery, air rifle and clay pidgeon shooting. Our instructor John was brilliant. Really informative, easy to understand and with a great sense of humour too. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and definitely want to come back for more shooting.
