Our Open Day was a tremendous success, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so enjoyable. From seasoned shots to those trying shooting for the very first time, it was brilliant to see so many people making the most of everything on offer.

The “Dirty Dozen” semi-auto challenge proved hugely popular, with plenty of competitive spirit on display as shooters battled it out for the chance to win a Benelli Montefeltro Black, kindly supported by Benelli. Our Have-a-Go stand once again welcomed lots of newcomers to the sport, giving many their first taste of clay shooting in a safe, friendly, and relaxed environment. The 50-bird re‑entry competition ran throughout the day, with strong entries and excellent shooting, and the High Gun prize, sponsored by Lyalvale Express, was hotly contested.

We’re incredibly grateful to all the exhibitors who supported the Open Day and contributed to its success: ASI, Aimpoint, ATA, BASC, Benelli, Beretta, Bergara, Blaser, Browning, Caesar Guerini, Eley, Fabarm, Fiocchi, Glos Firearms, Hikmicro, Hornady, HULL, Krieghoff, Marshall Land Rover, Perazzi, Sako & Tikka. Your time, expertise, and enthusiasm genuinely added to the experience for everyone who attended.

A big thank you also goes to our café team for keeping everyone well fed and fuelled throughout the day, and of course to all the shooters, visitors, and supporters who came along – your continued support is very much appreciated.
