Sporting Targets Reviews 211

I bought a shooting experience for my partner for Christmas last year, via BuyaGift, which we redeemed today (01.10.22). We were a party of 4 and had a go at archery, rifle shooting and clay pigeon shooting. We arrived early and enjoyed a bacon sarnie along with the complimentary hot drinks in the lovely conservatory. Only one of our party had (minimal) shooting experience and the rest of us were complete novices, so we didn’t know what to expect. Our instructor, Rob, was great - calm and articulate with a great sense of humour - he really made the experience a lot of fun. We would absolutely recommend Sporting Target - thank you very much!

I had bought my son a buy a gift experience for Xmas a shotgun taster for two. Although I am a shooter, my wife and son had never experienced it before so I decided to be a bystander. When we arrived we were greeted by Cheryl, who took down our details and made us feel very welcome, offering us complimentary teas and coffees as we were a little early.

Our instructor was Bob Cross (Cross by name, but definitely not by nature) . He was absolutely amazing with his knowledge and training skills and never stopped smiling.

Both my son and wife went from novices to hitting in excess of 95% of the clays, my wife actually managed to shoot two clays with one shot (although I don’t know how she manage that)

All in all a fantastic experience, if you are thinking about booking up and are a little unsure, take my word for it you won’t be disappointed.

I bought the taster session experience for my dads birthday, we were a party of 4 which took part in; archery, rifle shooting followed by clay pigeon shooting on Sunday. John our instructor for the morning was amazing, calm, articulate / great teacher with a great sense of humour - he really made the experience amazing. Thank you sporting target

Amazing! Beautiful place with friendly and welcoming staff. We had a buy a gift voucher but sporting targets have great deals anyway. Vince our instructor was brilliant, very supportive for us newbies. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

We booked Sporting Targets for a company fun-day and they did not disappoint. We had a wonderful time. Food and refreshments were great. The location was excellent, and very nice 'lounge' and bar area to relax in as it was a very hot day when we went. Our instructors were excellent, and all staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Sporting Targets, and I am sure we will be going back.

We had a brilliant couple of hours shooting tuition with Rob today! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience for my best friends stag do. Angela was great in planning the whole day out for us. Our guides during the days shoot were extremely knowledgable and a great laugh! Will definitely be visiting again!

My Cousin and I decided to book a lesson for some coaching to point out any areas of improvement and advice. Our coach was Tony and I cannot recommend him enough, his experience and attention was very impressive he explained how he felt we could improve in a clear and very understandable manner, immediately noticed better results after only a few shots. Although I am not a total novice I found his coaching very informative and I will definitely be bookinganother. Tony's knowledge and superb teaching skill are in my opinion second to none I highly recommend a session with Tony.

Our family have just had a wonderful introduction to clay shooting, made all the more special by Tony. On arrival one of our children had second thoughts. However, Tony’s kind, informative, and engaging manner made all the difference. We all did well, enjoyed our day and look forward to doing it again soon.

Absolutely brilliant day!

All the staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. The facilities were clean and comfortable and they even offered free tea & coffee.

Thank you Vince for making our experience so much fun. I was genuinely quite nervous but you were really encouraging and made us feel relaxed. I can’t believe how well we all did - you are a great teacher!

We will definitely be back! Thank you.

I shoot, but I wanted my family to know what I do for sport. No one had shot before and I wanted them to experience the joy of smashing clays. Vince was amazing, had them all breaking targets like they’d done it for years. Big smiles and a round of applause for a great lesson. Plus fantastic venue and yummy bacon baps.

Myself and wife came here for a gift that was bought at Xmas. We had an amazing afternoon great venue with food and drink. We had Vince for one hour for the gift experience he was funny and professional and got us both hitting multiple flags. Great place and great staff we will definitely be looking at coming back.

Vince was such a wonderful instructor. It was mine and my family's first time doing clay pigeon shooting, archery and air rifles and so we were a bit nervous. Vince put us at ease straight away and gave some excellent guidance when encountering shot guns for the first time. I felt really confident after awhile. The same can be said for archery and the air rifles! The venue is beautiful and spacious and the equipment is well maintained. Will definitely be going back again!

Bought as a Christmas gift and didn't know what to expect as I've never used a shotgun before, but with excellent instruction from John soon got to grips with it. Top day out and will come again

I took my Son for a taster experience and it was absolutely brilliant from check in to completion, complementary coffee on arrival, we were met by Rob who explained the equipment and then took us through a variety of traps and scenarios building our confidence and increasing our ability, I would recommend Sporting Targets to everyone.

Well organised and very well laid out shoot. Great experience and we will be back.

We had an amazing day experience doing the Clay Pigeon Shooting, Archery and Air Rifle package. It was for a last minute Stag party.
A massive thank you to Angela for managing to fit us into a slot with only a few days notice and also a massive thanks to our 2 instructors Bruce and Mike who were not only fantastic teachers but also funny and patient with us.
Most of the lads from the party had things planned later after with work or family but we had such a memorable time that we cancelled all of our plans to hang out for the rest of the day together. All thanks to Angela, Mike and Bruce.

Had a fantastic clay shooting event, led by Rob. Managed to hit a few clays, too!
Lovely venue, with friendly staff.
Five stars.

I enquired about purchasing an item, to my astonishment I had a reply very quickly, the staff are very informative and knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. Thank you John for your help

I have been shooting at Sporting Targets for years with friends and family, we’re lucky to have it relatively close by!

There are so many layouts that you’ll struggle to get round them all even in 2 visits, and they are regularly altered to keep things interesting.

And to top it off there is a great cafe, a well stocked gun shop and very welcoming staff. Just wish I had time to go more often.
