Overview:
This championship standard clay pigeon centre is set in 50 acres of beautiful Lancashire woodland which is ideal terrain for a top quality shooting session.

Assuming that you are a novice group, your fully qualified CPSA instructor will start your group on a simple going away bird as you learn the basics of tracking the bird and timing your shot. As you get the hang of it, your group will rotate through a variety of traps, each mimicking the movement of a different type of game.

The tensions will build as the competition heats up and the key to success will be your ability to keep cool on the pressure shots (so a well timed sledge or two to your mates could make all the difference!)

A variety of guns are available to suit all sizes and lighter load cartridges can be used if requested to minimize recoil so everyone can happily enjoy this fun and exciting sport.

Duration:
Approximately two and a half hours for a 25 bird shoot or four hours for a 50 bird shoot. 
Note: This quote is for 25 targets unless otherwise stated.

Notes:
Hot food and drinks are available in the club house.

Overview:
Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants will learn the skill of shooting clays which is definitely not something that's as easy as it looks!

Format:
Groups will meet for a full briefing and safety talk from a qualified instructor before heading out on the shoot. After some practice shots everyone will be split up into teams of approximately 6 and the competition will commence; the instructor's mission being to have everyone hitting the clays accurately in as short a time as possible. Everyone will have the chance to shoot 25 clays at a number of stands. The stands will fire the clays from a multitude of positions to test your shooting skills, each mimicking the flight of different birds (for example: duck, pigeon or woodcock). Everyone's efforts will be scored and the best shooter will be revealed at the end of the session.

Duration:
Approximately 2 hours, depending on the group size.

Notes:
- No minimum group size; maximum 50.
- 25 clays included.
- Sandwiches and hot drinks served on Saturdays. Food can be pre-arranged during the week.
- Closed Sunday & Monday.
- The site features an undercover area that can seat up to 50.
- Certificates and prizes can be arranged by prior arrangement.

Forget horse racing; this is the real sport of kings. With a fully qualified instructor, you will rotate through a variety of traps (so named because originally they contained real pigeons). You will begin with a 15 clay practice before commencing a 15 clay friendly competition. The instructors are well versed at dealing with novices and will quickly have you blasting the clays to smithereens on the easier traps. They will then move you onto the more advanced ones, depending on how they rate your group’s ability. Bear in mind that the techniques needed change as you move from trap to trap so anyone too cocky after the first few clays may be looking pretty sheepish by the end of the day!

Duration:
Approximately 2 hours

The Site:
Spread over 200 acres, this dedicated activity centre is based in the enchanting Cheshire countryside, only a short drive from Chester, Liverpool and Manchester. Facilities include meeting room for 30 people, a fully licensed bar and the activities, which are all ideally suited to the wooded backdrop, are superb. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a multi-activity day of Quad Racing and Clay Pigeon Shooting.

Clay Pigeon Shooting:
Forget horse racing, this is the real sport of kings. With a fully qualified instructor, you will rotate through a variety of traps (so named because originally they contained real pigeons). You will take part in a 20 clay taster session. The instructors are well-versed at dealing with novices and will quickly have you blasting the clays to smithereens on the traps.

Quad Racing
These 125cc Yamaha Breeze quad bikes are like a four-wheeled motorbike that can be thrashed about off-road. The semi-automatic gearbox (just forward, reverse and neutral) means they are easy to drive, leaving you to concentrate on clipping valuable seconds off your time by getting the most out of the machine. The centre has a specially designed winding dirt track set into the hillside which is perfect for the time trial format. At over 500 metres long, there is plenty of room to manoeuvre, even with up to five quad bikes on the track at one time. Every driver will have a safety briefing and short practice to get used to the machine, followed by a 15 minute race. You’ll be knackered after this, particularly your thighs and thumbs, so you will get a short break before your second race.

**Please note the Quad Race track often becomes unsafe in the summer due to the hardness of the ground.  If this occurs a Quad Trekking event will be substituted in for it.  Decisions on track condition are normally only made a few days prior to the event.

Duration:
Please allow 3.5 hours for these activities
