My first time at a shooting range and had a great experience with the shoot. Instructor was very knowledgeable and professional. Will definitely do it again !

First experience of clay shooting for two of my grandsons. They enjoyed it a great deal. The instructor was very reassuring and helped them gain confidence through the process.
Only one criticism in that upon arrival we waited unnecessarily for the instructor to be informed of our presence on site.
Amazing shooting at Cluny Clays Fife
Clay shooting at Cluny Clays Fife was amazing! Sarah was an excellent instructor and my son and I had the best experience and will definitely be back! Thank you Cluny Clays for hosting and The Big Shoot for organising. The website was easy to navigate and make a booking, and we were kept informed at all times with confirmation emails etc. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience with amazing staff
My partner and I went for 50 clays and it was a great experience. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
We had a fantastic time and can highly recommend this place. We would definitely go back. Thank you very much for making it such an amazing experience. We loved it.
A great website with some very good venue options.
A great website with some very informative information and good selection of venues. The instructors were very friendly and welcoming. Safety was upmost important which was good to see. My only gripe was it was a bit expensive for the time and clays used.
Enjoyable day with excellent instructor
Located on the private Elveden Estate owned by the Guinness family, we learned a bit of history about the estate and had an excellent shoot. All equipment provided, very safe, and with a variety of different clay pigeon flights that tested our skill. Outstanding feature was the instructor who advised and gently guided us throughout the shoot as well the friendly banter made it enjoyable. We all being inexperienced, he had us all shooting clay pigeons out of the sky. Simply amazing! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable shoot. Highly recommended!
Brought this experience for my partner
Brought this experience for my partner, and he really enjoyed himself. Was offered a number of packages and I brought the package with 50 clay shoots.
Great time
We had a fantastic time and thanks to Bill the instructor he was brilliant we will be booking again.
Hitting Targets hits the target in my experience :-)
Excellent instructors and range managers. 1st class equipment and a fine, outdoor location ... with lazy roos in the distance....
The canteen seemed a bit basic but I only looked in.
Really enjoyed the experience
Really enjoyed the experience, instructor knew his stuff and made it fun while maintaining the safety aspect will do it again
If you fancy having a go at clay pigeon shooting this is a great place to do it
Went as a family group and none of us had any previous shooting experience. The instructor was really good at explaining the safety rules and basics of clay pigeon shooting and put us at ease. What was really appreciated was his attention to detail, explaining if our previous shots were too high, low or behind, he really did want us to hit the clay. The shooting range was good with the opportunity to shoot at clays from different angles, heights, directions and speeds and prior to any changes of clays he simply launched one for you to see and tell you where the best area to shoot was. We all had a great time and the noise and kick of the gun shots not as loud or fierce as I thought it would have been. Safety gear was provided( ear defenders, shooting glasses). We felt that it was tremendous value for money as well, and would highly recommend.
Awesome experience run by friendly folk,
John was a great instructor, humourous and knowledgeable. I missed some but hit a fair few. It was just great fun.
The directions using the B781/B780 from Ardrossan were a little inaccurate but we got there without too much difficulty.
Great day
Great experience, Richard our instructor was a pleasure to be with 😊
Great fun for all the family
Great fun for all the family. The instructor was careful to explain the safety precautions and assisted all the time as we were novices.
Highly recommended for the clay pigeon…
Highly recommended for the clay pigeon shooting. We attended for my Wife’s 50th Birthday and had a brilliant time. Ben (Instructor) was absolutely fantastic and clearly very passionate about shooting and ensuring everyone is included and supported throughout the event. Good equipment with a range of guns to suit the individual (Weight/range etc). Excellent venue which is ideal and easy to find. As no e of our party had previously tried clay pigeon shooting, we were all delighted to receive such good instruction and encouragement and everyone hit the clay pigeons!! We thought it was excellent value for money and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We will certainly be returning in the future.
