What a fantastic experience. The team were enthusiastic and super helpful. My 13 year old had so much help and guidance , you couldn't ask for better support. He got very good scores prone and even better on the bench with scopes. We were very impressed with the support and professional guidance. It all ended too soon. But we got to take the targets home to show mum. First impression is a lasting impression, and what a great impression it made for my young son. Thank you I encourage everyone to try this sport. We'll support this club and be back again soon. Please call the members of this club to make an appointment. Highly recommended. Kevin
