Brilliant! We booked for a standard package and got to shoot with two guns. Instructions were very straightforward and the gentlemen were both super friendly. Would love to come again.

Had a great experience with my younger brother coming here. His first time shooting and he was ecstatic to fire some live rounds. We both had a fantastic experience and really enjoyed it. The rifles were well maintained and the instructors were a pleasure.

I took my son for his Christmas present. Having just turned 12, he's talked about wanting to shoot a real gun for some time. The place is nestled within the dodgiest looking mill in the middle of nowhere. It's easy to walk to from a nearby tramstop. I clearly didn't read the email fully because we ended up wandering around and around the mill. A quick phone call and we were in in no time. I'd have probably still missed the entrance from reading it though, but that's just me. The guy manning reception was nice and offered us our complimentary brews. It was a nice, tidy area. We were taken through by the instructor, who quickly showed my son hold to hold the weapon etc. He was great, really nice and very patient. I'd paid for the standard package, 100 rounds between 2 guns and 1 hour. The ammo was exhausted in a massive 11 minutes! Sadly, despite having plenty of time remaining, we couldn't purchase more ammo due to supply issues. We understood. The main thing was my son really enjoyed his experience.

Wife took me here to celebrate my birthday and we had a fantastic time. Charlie and Wayne were very welcoming, friendly and made the experience great fun for two newbies. Had an awesome time and would definitely do it again!

What is the minimum age to participate in shooting experiences?
The minimum age for using the range is 12 years old. However, this is at the discretion of our Range Officers, who may allow or decline participation based on maturity level. All participants under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

Yes, spectators are welcome provided they also bring valid ID and receive prior approval, as seating may be limited due to space availability. They do not need to purchase a package.
