Over the summer I've enjoyed several excellent stimulated days with Ladyswood shooting School. The locations have all been 1st class offering some excellent shooting with some challenging drives. Chris and his team run the day superbly well and I can't recommend there SIM days highly enough for those that enjoy these kind of days, we are always made to feel very welcome and above all they are just great fun.

An extremely impressive and professional shooting school and club, amazing facilities, ground and staff and very welcoming to a group of novices.
We joined Lady Wood's for an afternoon of clays. Most of the group of 8 had never held a shotgun before, yet in such great hands and under trusted supervision, everyone had a tremendously good time.
Special thanks to Helen for frequent correspondence and flexibility in booking and also to our guide/supervisor Mike for his great humour and for having us all shoot some clays! I very much hope to visit again in the future!

First visit to LW this week, with two friends for a "flush & flurry" session.
The ground was good, the staff excellent and the facilities impressive, not least the bacon rolls, sausages, chocolate and tea / coffee. The glass of bubbles at half time with a shot of sloe gin was also pretty good!
We shot four stands, each showing a simulated game presentation and alternated with another team of three which provided a bit of friendly competition.
The stands provided a fair amount of "challenge" and a llot of fun.
Covid 19 precautions were front and central.
I look forward to visiting LW again

Highly recommended, going above and beyond any normal customer service, making you feel very welcome and at home the second you walk through the door. Whether it’s Helen on the front desk greeting you as soon as you walk through the door or Tom in the gun room taking the time of day to explain anything you want to know about the sport. The instructors that caddy you around the stunning site that has a vast number of different stands are very passionate and helpful, teaching you how to attack every clay. I have found Lady’s Wood a very knowledgable and enjoyable place to visit and will definitely
