The clay shooting facilities at this venue in Bedfordshire really are second to none, having been awarded Premier status by the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association and large enough to be able to host National Championship level events.
With over 12 separate shooting challenges including the intriguingly named High Drive, Quarry, Embankment and Grouse and 75 fully electronic traps you are guaranteed not to get bored! A wide range of guns are available to suit all ages and sizes and the instructors will be next to you making sure your stance and gun position are just right to "dust" those clays.
The Lodge has a restaurant, bar, lounge and summer patio offering food and refreshments in fantastic surroundings and the venue itself is within easy access from the A1, M1 and A14 just north of Bedford.
All experiences start with a comprehensive safety briefing. Under exclusive one to one expert tuition, you'll move around the different challenges of the course. During the 60 minute experience you can expect to shoot between 50 and 100 clays. Sessions can be shared between two giving each participant a 30 minute experience. All safety equipment is provided.
Lessons are available Monday to Sunday, excluding Tuesdays.
Countrywide clay pigeon shooting lessons are also available.
The venue is half way between Rushden and Bedford with easy access via the M1, A1 and A14.
