Facilities at the ground have recently been updated, we havea skeet range, a down the line layout & a 120 + bird sporting layout open. The targets on the sporting layout are changed regularly.
The skeet, DTL & sporting layouts have Claymate solo release equipment installed, so that you can shoot on your own without having to press release buttons at the same time.
At the moment both Skeet layouts are set up for English Skeet.
