The tutors were very friendly and made everyone feel at ease. The grounds themselves were so impressive and it was great to be able to relax afterwards with well deserved lunch.

Definitely a great place to visit for private parties, team building days or for corporate events.  Barbara H –  Women  In Business Network

  • “We would just like to say a HUGE thank you for Andrew’s Birthday Party. 15 is not an easy age and to find an interesting activity to celebrate is quite a challenge. The mini-corporate day was just the ticket – and the boys had a great time. As a ‘birthday experience’ it was a huge success , and a couple of the parents rang to thank us. Your immense patience and professionalism made the day a great success.” Kim W
  •  “The ‘taster’ session was excellent and our Instructor made the morning very enjoyable. Even the non-shooting part was extremely informative and never having held a shotgun before, he instilled fantastic confidence. I had a great time and shall be returning soon.” Andrew P
  •  ” The thought of shooting had never appealed to me and I had preconceived ideas of old men and tweed! Then I went along to a networking event at the shooting ground and I never realised how much fun shooting could be – so ideal for team building and there was no tweed in sight! Afterwards we enjoyed a nice buffet in the Clubhouse. I would recommend anyone to come along and give it a try, as we were made to feel so welcome and the one-to-one training was very good. And better still, give that person who has everything a gift voucher for Christmas” Kim P

  • Geoff & Dave have coached me and my son for over three years. My son started shooting aged 10 and the balance of instruction and encouragement they both gave him made all the difference in his interest and ability – they are excellent at coaching this age and stage. From not knowing one end of a gun from another, they also guided me – a novice in my mid-forties – through the legal and safety issues and the myriad of guns available. And – importantly – how to hit clays coming from most directions.They are both very easy to work with and are particularly good at breaking any ‘bad runs of luck’ with calm, simple and completely memorable ways to avoid repeating mistakes. I have also hosted a couple of group clay shooting days and they have been excellent with clients and friends alike – guiding and helping, making sure that novices hit something – but not intruding on the day.Based at Northampton Shooting Ground, they represent an important resource for those who both enjoy the sport already, but who may not want to ask  old hands ‘stupid’ questions. Their door is always open and a quick piece of advice has often rescued me from a day of misses! If you’re thinking of taking up this sport, improving your skill or looking to break bad habits (that you may not realise you have!) these are the guys to talk to. All the best and thanks for your help”  Toby B. FSRA FIRP
  • Hi just wanted to say we had a fantastic day on Saturday everyone loved it a very special thanks to Geoff what a superb instructor we will recommend it to all our friends Thanks again Best regards Gary
  • Christmas Meal Raffle Prize Winner –The main prize in our Christmas Raffle in aid of the Coeliac Society – a clay pigeon shooting experience, kindly donated by Northampton Shooting Ground was won by Anne Lewis and given to her husband, Barry, as part of his Christmas present. Barry arranged his lesson recently. The tutors were excellent and provided Barry with lots of guidance, tips and encouragement to ensure that he gained maximum enjoyment from the experience. His favourite target was the “rabbit run” where the discs are bowled along the ground from left to right. Finally, he loosed off his final cartridge and made his way back to the cabin for a debriefing, wearing a big smile and talking about coming back for another go. Thanks again from the Coeliac Society.
  •  Enjoyed the 100 bird sporting on Saturday, no huge queues, nice weather, no birds that were a test of your eyesight rather than a test of marksmanship and good, reasonably priced food. Shame I don’t live a bit closer. Police Shoot

  • Hello my name is Stephen Smith, I would just like to say how my team and I thoroughly enjoyed the 400 BIRD, TEAM FLUSH NIGHT .We had been looking forward to it all year and it exceeded all expectations.We would like to thank all the staff for the effort they put in, it made for a fantastic evening.Hopefully this event will take place on a more regular basis in the future.
  • Just a quick note to thank you all for such a great time on Wednesday night at the 400 bird flurry. As a team of non experienced beginner shots we had no idea what to expect.However we did have “ the best fun you can have with a gun in your hand !”We found the whole event great fun – very friendly and welcoming . The guys on the stands were great, as were the other teams. We were not patronised or looked down upon and found we could point a gun and miss with the best of them .We were not sure who was most surprised by our shooting – us or the lads on the traps .We didn’t want to go home and enjoyed a few cans of beer to celebrate after.All of us cannot wait to have another go . We just need to practice those driven clays a bit more !Many thanks. Bruce.
