Celebrating our Four Year Anniversary

This month, we’re proudly celebrating the anniversary of what has been a new era for Lady’s Wood.

Four years ago, I took the helm of what I firmly believe is the finest shooting school in the country. Founded by my good friend Michael Pinker, Lady’s Wood has always held a special place in my affection.

In 1981, he set out to create a venue that would welcome everyone. Thus Lady’s Wood began, as one manually-operated trap on the front lawn! Michael spent several decades developing the facilities and building a fine reputation for the school, untimely death from cancer in 2010.

Having shot with Michael since the age of 20, I feel privileged to take Lady’s Wood into the future.

New beginnings…

In the last four years, we have made a considerable investment in the Lady’s Wood experience. We have greatly enhanced our facilities with the creation of our lodge and transformation of the old stables, now Sportarm at Lady’s Wood.

The school has invested heavily in training. Three of our instructors have taken the Association of Professional Shooting Instructors (APSI) Advanced Course in Instruction – a level achieved by around only 150 individuals in the UK.

One of the finest shooting schools in the country

It has been a great deal of hard work, but four years on we can proudly say that Lady’s Wood is one of the finest shooting schools in the country. We offer instruction at its very best and a scenic and serene environment like no other.

I am incredibly proud of our team and each member is committed to our success. Every day they strive to give our customers the possible experience.

We are proud of our success and growth to date, but there is still much to do. Lady’s Wood has ambitious plans for the future with the ultimate goal of being the number one shooting school in the country.

We work hard to give people an outstanding shooting experience: the opportunity to learn, test their skills, relax and socialise in an idyllic environment.

As our valued customers, we welcome you to bring more people to enjoy what Lady’s Wood has to offer.  Please also keep telling us what we can do to enhance your enjoyment still further. I promise that we listen very carefully.

I do hope you will explore our current offers. We hope to see many of you over the coming weeks enjoying your shooting.

Thank you for choosing to shoot at Lady’s Wood and being part of our success.  Here’s to many more enjoyable years!

With best wishes
