If you fancy having a go at clay pigeon shooting this is a great place to do it
Went as a family group and none of us had any previous shooting experience. The instructor was really good at explaining the safety rules and basics of clay pigeon shooting and put us at ease. What was really appreciated was his attention to detail, explaining if our previous shots were too high, low or behind, he really did want us to hit the clay. The shooting range was good with the opportunity to shoot at clays from different angles, heights, directions and speeds and prior to any changes of clays he simply launched one for you to see and tell you where the best area to shoot was. We all had a great time and the noise and kick of the gun shots not as loud or fierce as I thought it would have been. Safety gear was provided( ear defenders, shooting glasses). We felt that it was tremendous value for money as well, and would highly recommend.
Awesome experience run by friendly folk,
John was a great instructor, humourous and knowledgeable. I missed some but hit a fair few. It was just great fun.
The directions using the B781/B780 from Ardrossan were a little inaccurate but we got there without too much difficulty.
Great day
Great experience, Richard our instructor was a pleasure to be with 😊
Great fun for all the family
Great fun for all the family. The instructor was careful to explain the safety precautions and assisted all the time as we were novices.
Highly recommended for the clay pigeon…
Highly recommended for the clay pigeon shooting. We attended for my Wife’s 50th Birthday and had a brilliant time. Ben (Instructor) was absolutely fantastic and clearly very passionate about shooting and ensuring everyone is included and supported throughout the event. Good equipment with a range of guns to suit the individual (Weight/range etc). Excellent venue which is ideal and easy to find. As no e of our party had previously tried clay pigeon shooting, we were all delighted to receive such good instruction and encouragement and everyone hit the clay pigeons!! We thought it was excellent value for money and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We will certainly be returning in the future.
