Adult Shooting Lesson
Ideal for beginners and experienced shooters alike, our adult lesson provides one hour of personalised, one-to-one tuition with an experienced instructor.
If you’ve never held a shotgun before, your instructor will guide you through the essentials, including gun safety, handling, stance and the fundamentals of hitting a clay. If you already have some experience, the session can focus on refining your technique, improving consistency and building confidence on different targets.
It’s a great starting point for anyone looking to learn clay pigeon shooting or develop their existing skills.
Joint Shooting Lesson
Looking to learn alongside someone else? Our joint lesson is designed for two people sharing one instructor over a 90-minute session.
A popular choice for couples, friends and parent-and-child pairs, it’s a great way to experience clay pigeon shooting together while still benefiting from individual guidance and feedback.
Whether you’re both complete beginners or have different levels of experience, your instructor will adapt the session to suit you.
Junior & Concession Lesson
Our junior and concession lessons offer the same personalised tuition, with a little more consideration given to individual pace and requirements.
Available to young shooters aged 9-18 and those aged 65+, these one-to-one sessions are led by our experienced instructors, with lighter cartridges and an approach tailored to the individual.
