We have been to the club twice and both times really enjoyed ourselves. We are both beginners and found the instructors to be very helpful, knowledgable and nice.
Thank you for a great lesson Elay and the other instructor were great and we look forward to go back soon!

Simply amazing experience. Friendly staff, absolutely wonderful and patient instructors (hi, Mark!), great place with all the facilities necessary for a fun hour or day, whichever is your cuppa. Shame everything is so timed on weekends, what we really would have loved is some extra ammo. But groups come back to back and the guys are fully booked! I guess, that's saying something about the quality of experience. We'll be back!

We had an excellent time at Manchester Clay Shooting Club on Saturday 25th March.
Our group was quite large so split into groups of 3. All of the instructors were brilliant for our respective groups. Our particular instructor was great fun and really reassuring.
The facilities on site were really good and ample parking.
I would highly recommend this club and I would certainly go back again. It was a really enjoyable experience and everyone had a fantastic time.
