 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an experience day with Guns and Clays recently, our instructor, Richard Halsall gave us a fantastic time. He was a great instructor and made it a very memorable time for both my son and I. He even let my wife have a couple of shots. We didn't stop laughing the whole time and look forward to going back soon for some coaching maybe.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had out 1st experience of shooting shotguns with Guns & Clays last Sunday and Richard was an exceptional instructor. His patience for myself and my partner as complete novices was remarkable and made us feel at ease using these guns. From the initial walk through instruction to firing the guns at the clays this was a great experience and would definitely recommend Richard to anyone wishing to have a go at clay shooting which is not as easy as first thought but amazing when you nail them with a blast from the shotguns. We used 20 and 12 bore shotguns on the day which was great !!! Well Done Richard !!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a first time shooter I was nervous when I came, I was quickly put to ease after speaking to Mike Williams the instructor. He has a lot of experience, very funny and a great tutor.

I missed my first few shots but with the right guidance I managed blast a few clays.

Overall I've had a great experience and would definitely recommend anyone to try it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked an experience for two, our first time trying clay pigeon shooting (quite nervous to start). Met Mike the instructor on the day and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and a great tutor. To our surprise we hit quite a few clays and that was down to his great tips and knowledge! It was great because he varied the set up and difficulty as we went along. We really enjoyed it and would definitely do it again. The surroundings were beautiful too. Thank you to the guns and clays team- highly recommended
