Predominantly an English sporting clay shooting ground with a variety of targets such as high pheasant, springing teal and bolting rabbits, we can also offer a flush to round off the day, fun fast and furious, this can be booked in advance.

A 40 metre air rifle range with a selection of targets and guns available for hire offers another alternative for those that enjoy their air rifle target shooting.

Our clay card system is now operating on count up.  Collect a clay card when you arrive and shoot as few or as many clays as you want.   Please note – Payment is by Credit or Debit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal.
