Great experience

Great experience. The instructor was informative but not boring. He really coached us and took the time to explain things without it feeling like a safety briefing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun activity.

Folly Farm Newbury

My Son and I went to Folly Farm Newbury for our shoot. Katy was our instructor and was brilliant from start to finish. If you want an easy introduction into Clay shooting I would recommend here.

AMAZING!!

Highly recommend coming here. The staff are really friendly. They are extremely safe and ensure even those watching are safe and protected. The instructor Markie was amazing. He didn’t rush us and tried to ensure we slowed down to make the most of the shots. He explained things so well and was really respectful. We will definitely be returning here.

This website is just a booking agent

This website is just a booking agent, they sell vouchers for individuals book many places have a minimum number of people per booking. Prices higher than booking directly with the shooting grounds.
Shooting was brilliant, but that has nothing to do with this website.
Avoid

Gift vouchers are monetary value vouchers that are charged up to a certain value by the purchaser. These vouchers are then redeemable towards any of the activities available, at any of the locations across the country. These gift vouchers then pay off or pay towards the chosen experience, a bit like a store gift card.

Each location has clearly listed booking restrictions, to do with ages and minimum group sizes for packages. These restrictions vary per location.
If a venue has a minimum group size requirement for the specifically selected package of 4ppl or more, then you will be required to book for 4ppl as a minimum in order to confirm the experience. If the gift voucher value doesn't cover the chosen experience in full then additional payment will be required.

We are glad that you enjoyed your shooting experience, and we are sorry that you did not agree with the booking process.
