From Our Visitors

What Shooters Say

“The views alone are worth the trip. We spent a full day cycling between the short range and the 600 yard lines couldn’t believe how much ground there was to cover.”

J

James R.

Club Secretary, Powys Rifle Club

“Booking was simple, the site was all ours for the day. Three of us ran through three different disciplines without moving between sessions. Brilliant setup.”

S

Sarah M.

Full-Bore Shooter

“We come every season. The long-range lines in particular are superb — natural wind conditions, beautiful backdrop, and nothing between you and the target but open mountain air.”
