Great experience
Great experience. The instructor Brian was so knowledgeable, safe and personable. The company were so helpful in accommodating our voucher booking and were super supportive when I messed up the timing of our booking. Great fun for some first timers. Will definitely be back and recommend this place.
Brilliant
Brilliant, Alan (instructor) made whole experience great. My daughter and I loved it. Will definitely come again.
Such a fun family morning out for all…
Such a fun family morning out for all ages. So good to do something different that everyone could take part in. Will definitely be back! Our instructor was Bob, such a lovely man who made the whole experience fun and was great with the kids, we would request to have him again.

I had a great ‘give it a go’ session with Steve. Extremely patient and knowledgeable. I’ll be booking in for lessons with Steve as I’ve not shot since I was a teenager and Steve instilled that excitement for the sport back in to me.
Very rushed experience
I was given this event for 2 people @ Royston, as a gift and a fee was paid to be able to change the date. When I called to change the date, to enable me to purchase another ticket, so I could take both my sons. I was told that I could not as it was within the 2 weeks, in line with the T&Cs. Which was a shame. On the day we had to wait for the instructor. We enjoyed our experience, however we were expecting to be there for between 1-2 hours. With the late arrival of the instructor we spent only 30 minutes on the site, which we felt it was a very rushed, and detracted from the experience. Which I feel becomes quite expensive for 30 minutes.

Brought for a gift for my dad and we both had the best afternoon. Instructors were friendly, informative and supportive enabling me to do really well with being on target. Great place… thank you
Fantastic experience and service
We booked an event through the big shoot at Pit Hall Farm, Hampshire.
Our instructor Sarah was fantastic, she was professional, she gave clear instructions meaning we all actually done pretty well! And she had a cracking sense of humour too which made the afternoon even more enjoyable!
The booking process with the big shoot was easy, followed up by phone calls confirming things promptly.
All round a great experience, thank you the big shoot and Sarah!
