Introductions to shooting which include a full safety briefing and basic tuition are available from our Instructors, perfect for a corporate event or private party where attendees may have little or no experience of shooting.
Further group and individual instruction is also available by prior appointment.
Many of our regular customers and Gun Club members had their first experience of Clay Shooting as part of a corporate experience day or private party, where full tuition is provided to groups.
Their interest in Clay Shooting has grown from there, and with private tuition, many go on to shoot at high levels in competitions all over the country.
