"I was looking to book a shooting course for my partner's birthday. It was both our first time shooting. Alan was the first and only person I contacted as he was so helpful from our first conversation! He put together a course for us that gave us a great introduction into the world of guns and shooting. He made us both feel very comfortable and was very patient with us. He gave us a great range of guns to shoot and this gave us a real feel for shooting and the different types of guns and ammunition you can use. He has great knowledge and is happy to share it. The cost of the course was very fair and great value for money!! " A.L.
