Amazing Stag Party

I arranged a clay pigeon shoot for my stag do and it was absolutely fantastic. The whole team at Sporting Targets were so helpful, from organising the event down to the instructor Rob who was extremely helpful and a wealth of knowledge. First Class guys, Thankyou 😀

What a fantastic family day out!

What a fantastic day we had at Sporting Targets. The instructor Vinnie Elder made the event so special for me, my wife and two children (Daisy 20, Jay 17). Vinnie made us calm and relaxed and taught us to be confident...and also had a great personality and banter. We all picked up clay shooting really quickly with Vinnie's tips and we all managed to hit most of the clays on all of the courses we went on. Can't recommend having a clay shooting session enough, we loved it. Thank you Vinnie for making our day special, we will be back soon.
