Lessons

Private lessons for beginners, bundles for aspiring licence holders and coaching for experienced shots.

Our clay ground is open on weekdays and weekends all year round. Shotgun licence holders can turn up during opening hours with no need to book, and some of our members have been shooting with us for over 50 years.

Meet Matt

Your coach Matt is a member of the England Skeet Team and winner of the New Cap High Gun award. Mentored by an Olympic coach, he keeps up with the latest techniques, designs our sporting layout and gives private lessons to shooters of every age, from children to seniors.

Every lesson includes a gun fit assessment and eye dominance check, so you get the most from your shooting and lose any bad habits.

Introductory private lessons

Exploring a new hobby? Start with an introductory lesson of 30 or 60 shots. Clays, cartridges, 1:1 tuition, gun hire and a health and safety briefing are included. Private lessons are priced per shot: £2 a shot for clay shooting and £1.80 for archery and air guns.

Lesson bundles

Want to keep improving, or keep shooting while you wait for your licence? Buy a bundle of 50-shot lessons, each with 1:1 tuition, gun hire, ammunition, targets and a safety briefing.

Membership starter packages

Designed to take you from beginner to competent shooter, with a licence and clays ready to use: lessons, this year's membership and clays in one package, with 1:1 tuition, ammunition, gun hire, targets and a safety briefing included. Members' discounts apply. Your lessons continue while you wait for your licence, and what you learn will help at your firearms officer's interview. Once you are licensed, your bulk clays go on your own clay credit card to keep.

Lessons for licence holders

Fitting a new gun, correcting bad habits or fine-tuning your technique? Book a 90-minute session of the instructor's time and bring your own gun, cartridges and clays. Shots are unlimited during the session.

Medical certificates

You need a medical certificate to go with your shotgun licence application, and many GPs can no longer provide one. We currently offer a service where a doctor comes to the ground and completes your medical there and then. The current price is £80, which can change at any time.
