How to have the best possible shooting experience this game shooting season

Book a shooting lesson (or two!) before the big day

Even the most experienced of shots can benefit from a lesson or two before a day of game shooting. Our comprehensive variety of game shooting facilities includes six onsite towers, grouse butt and a range of targets designed to simulate game birds in a natural, realistic setting. All of this is complemented by excellent shooting instruction from our experienced and knowledgeable APSI-trained instructors.

Shooting lessons can be booked by the hour for both individuals and small groups. Courses of lessons are also available.
