provides you with all of the energy required to maximise the enjoyment of the

morning’s activities.

10:00am Your group, escorted by our highly experienced instructor, will progress to

one of our many layouts. Groups may start on one of the target activities ~ clay shooting, archery or Air rifles alternatively go straight onto the motorized activities (please pick two of the following for the group) ~ 2 seater dune buggies, quad bikes and 4 x 4 off road course. Wherever you start, each group will spend sufficient time on all of the activities throughout the day to master each discipline and have a superb time

12:30pm All groups return to the “All Seasons Restaurant” for a three course lunch that

will satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. We can cater for vegetarians (if required) and our highly experienced chefs will produce a menu fit for royalty.

3:30pm As a finalé to the day, we provide a fast and fun flurry. A barrage of targets is

thrown at a team of guns who have to work fast and together as a team to “dust” all the targets.

4:30pm With the activities completed, it’s back to the Shooting Lodge where homemade cakes will be served along with your tea or coffee. We can also open the bar (shooting and alcohol do not mix). It is now time for the results of your activities to be announced and where accolades are lavished on the well deserving winners and humor abounds when the wooden spoon is announced (if appropriate).

Whether you are a novice or experienced shooter, an individual or group, we have the space

and verity of targets for all. With in excess of 100 traps to launch targets from our 120 foot

towers, to more novice targets we can ensure that we put together a layout that suites your

requirements and ability.

For novices we will provide all the equipment you need and guidance from qualified

instructors, to ensure you break as many targets as possible. Subject to a minimum age of 8

years old and height of four foot we have a variety of shotguns to match your stature to

ensure comfort and enjoyment.

If you are a group of experience shots we can put together a layout to your specifications and

provide escorts or qualified referees to score your shoot and guide you around the ground.

If you are looking at a multi-activity event then we would highly recommend Clay Target

shooting to be part of it. We are happy to arrange sessions from an hour to a whole day but

would suggest for novices that a two hour session would be the maximum.

Clay Target shooting is a great team activity and is ideal for groups; family and friends;

entertaining clients; rewarding customers; birthday treats and team building.

Many people own 4x4 vehicles, but few will actually use them for what they are designed for,

serious off roading. Our course offers you this opportunity, using our vehicles, a Land Rover

Defender, Discovery and Range Rover.

The course covers steep hills, tight turns, rutted tracks and, depending on the weather, water

splashes and mud, not to mention the see-saw. Often done blind folded, with friends or

colleagues giving verbal instructions as to where to turn, this can be truly exhilarating for all.

We don’t insist you drive the vehicle blindfolded, but it adds an extra dimension to your

experience.

Next to clay target shooting this is our most popular activity, often put together to make a

multi-activity event.

The minimum age for the activity is 17 and we do not insist you have a driving license; we

have both manual and automatic vehicles.

DDuunnee BBuuggggiieess

These are by no means everyday vehicles, built for two people in a space frame chassis and

powered by a motorbike engine; these buggies are about as much fun as you can have on

four wheels. We have a bespoke off road track for these buggies, the course itself changes

with the seasons, during the summer it tends to be dry and fast, wet weather will bring

puddles, mud and plenty of skidding.

This is a very popular activity on its own as well as being combined with others. You don’t

need a driving license, but you do need to be at least 17 years old.

If you are looking at a group booking then twinning this with 4x4 off roading will keep the

group in the same area and allow plenty of opportunities for spectators and taking pictures.

NB: Dune Buggies have restricted availability during the winter months and adverse weather

conditions for safety reasons, please ask when booking.

QQuuaadd BBiikkeess

We challenge you to take our Quad Bikes over the bespoke obstacle course; this activity is

not so much about speed, but skill and precision. If you find the obstacle course too much we

can take you on a nature trail through the estate.

This activity is more often than not included with multi-activity events especially for

corporate groups as it is a great event to score, and provides plenty of laughs and photo

opportunities.

This is a great event to combine with either one of the other motorized events, especially for

groups, as it takes place in the same area.

AAiirr RRiifflleess

Our Air Rifle range offers a multitude of targets to shoot at, with the opportunity to have

several people shooting at the same time it will keep everyone active.

This is a very popular event with our younger visitors and those groups looking to book a

multi-activity event. The skill set for a high score is very different from that of a shotgun so is

a great leveler.

AArrcchheerryy

Out of all our target sports Archery always produces the most laughs. You may think this is an

easy activity, but it requires a definite technique to get it right and it is trying to perfect this

that produces the laughs.

This is a great activity for families, corporate days and groups of friends either as a

standalone event or part of a multi-activity day. We have a variety of bows so whatever your

stature we will be able to accommodate you, subject to a minimum age of 8 and 4 ft in

height.

The targets are placed about 20 meters away from you and once you have mastered the

technique and your aim you will be on target.

Our qualified instructors will demonstrate the technique and assist you in achieving your best

possible score.
