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!
