Our large group had a great afternoon at The Big Shoot. The instructors were knowledgeable and really helpful, making for a really enjoyable event. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant fun
Absolutely brilliant fun - thanks sooooo much. Lovely venue, very well organised., and lots of advice and encouragement. Will definitely be back and have already told my Son who organises his Company's Team Building Days as well as over a dozen random strangers!!
Brilliant Stag Do Experience
Brilliant afternoon for my brother’s Stag Do! Six of us went along, and we felt in very safe hands, and each of us enjoyed it brilliantly!
A great experience for newbies to clay pigeon shooting
Mick at the Normanston shooting ground in Leicester, was amazing. A very lovely man who made us feel at ease, kept us safe and his instructions were brilliant. Mick took his time to fully explain everything and as my sons improved during the afternoon, he provided more challenging clays for them. We had a fantastic time learning clay pigeon shooting and I thoroughly recommend this venue and the Big Shoot company for the easy booking process which I found to be affordable.
Clay pigeon shooting at Rufforth

It was a fantastic experience for my 13 year old son. He really had a memorable day. The instructors were supportive and skilled helping him to get the most out of his activities. There is a great atmosphere and we will definitely do it again.
Great experience, thoroughly enjoyable
Great experience & great instructors, they catered for our group of 10 excellently and went above and beyond what was expected.
All 10 of us thoroughly enjoyed it and walked away happy. They took the time to ensure everyone was comfortable with what to do regardless of people’s level, an un-rushed, enjoyable day.
Highly recommend.
