If you've never been clay shooting before, we've found the perfect venue for your first clay shooting experience. Based in a prestigious estate, The Big Shoot's Yeaveley site has been delivering only the finest clay shooting thrills to budding gun slingers for over 60 years. When you take down targets with us, you are going to be facing off against some of the toughest clay shooting challenges you'll find anywhere in the country. These targets are so exhilarating, they don't feel like automated traps- they feel like real live game that you would hunt in the wild. Can you take them down?

With state of the art equipment and a safe environment, Yeaveley's facilities are second to none. The welcoming shooting lodge offers a great range of food and drink. We run a fully licensed bar. For larger events we erect a fully lined, chandelier lit Marquee. Professional tuition is provided by dedicated members of staff. A specially designed shooting tower adds to the challenge by releasing high targets. We are constantly upgrading our shooting ground to improve the variety of our layout. There are targets here to satisfy the novice and the seasoned shot.

The Shoot

If you don't believe we're one of Britain's best clay shooting sites, all you need to do is look around the fantastic range of facilities we have on site. We have a plethora of layouts, each tailor made to suit your skill level, whilst slowly pushing you out of your comfort zone and unleashing the Olympic worthy marksman that hides within. We have many game hunt style challenges, where you'll be taking down fast moving targets which realistically simulate birds from grouse to pheasants. If this isn't enough action for you, then maybe you should take down targets that fall from our high tower!

Our site has toilets and car parking. Light refreshments are available.

We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon clay pigeon shooting, made all the more enjoyable by our guide, who was clearly a professional and who was very friendly and who had a great sense of humour. I hadn't appreciated just how many other exciting outdoor activities are also on offer at this particular venue, which for us, is local and very easy to find.
        It was a brilliant experience and we will definitely be returning in the future. I would thoroughly recommend this place to anybody looking for some fun and adventure! Top marks!"

      • "The instructor displayed exactly the right balance of professionalism and friendly banter. He also demonstrated a great depth of knowledge and experience together with imagination and creativity in overcoming specific problems we had. Safety precautions and routines were very much in evidence but not to the point of distracting from the task and enjoyment of it. The whole experience was very enjoyable, with much to reflect on and plans to make for future visits."
