Shooting is an exciting and skillful sport that continues to grow in popularity across the UK, offering both novice and experienced shooters a thrilling experience. Whether you’re taking your first shot or looking for a new challenge, sessions are tailored to your specific needs, with private instruction provided exclusively for you or your group. Unlike many other venues, detailed guidance is offered throughout the session to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and educational experience. Additionally, a money-back guarantee is provided if you do not hit a clay, provided the session is completed, giving participants confidence and encouragement to improve their skills.
Session lengths vary depending on the number of participants, ranging from one hour for individual or small groups to two hours for larger groups of seven to ten people. After your session, you can enjoy the renowned Wild Boar Afternoon Tea or choose from the lunch menu at the hotel, which is paid separately. To use the hotel grounds for shooting, guests must either be staying at an English Lakes Hotel, which may include extra discounts, or dine before or after the activity. This combination of expert tuition, exhilarating sport, and excellent dining makes the experience both memorable and rewarding for all participants.

This afternoon, my partner and I had the pleasure of having Peter as our instructor for a shooting session. We didn’t know what to expect, but Peter proved not only to be exceptionally competent in what he teaches, but also a genuinely wonderful person to spend an afternoon with. He was extremely knowledgeable, an excellent teacher, and very friendly throughout. We throughly recommend Michael Coates and especially Peter! The price is more than justified for the experience.
Amazing service from start to finish. Came as a group got good introductions and safety discussions out the way. Had a little competition at the end. Loved the atmosphere 🤠 Nice little hut for a fire and lunch. Again thanks guys for yesterday we all had a blast. And thanks for the chat at the end.
Shout out to Pete..Made us feel comfortable from the get go with so many smiles and laughs! He explained everything clearly, took the time to listen and go through each stage safely..the session flowed so well! loved the little challenges he set us too! Such a lovely guy and amazing experience..arrived thinking I’d be lucky to hit 1..but I left having hit 6 and feeling on top of the world! Can’t wait to have another go…Thanks Pete!
This was hands down the most surprising and exciting holiday activity I’ve ever done! I’m still over the moon and couldn’t sleep that night from the excitement. It all started when I spotted a tiny ad in a tourist brochure mentioning clay shooting in the area. I didn’t even know this was something non-shooting club members could try! It immediately brought back memories of one of my favourite childhood Nintendo games—and doing it in real life had always been a dream. When I checked online, everything was fully booked for our dates. But I couldn’t let it go. I set my alarm and started calling around first thing in the morning. That’s when I found Michael Coates Clay Shooting—and how lucky I was! Their activity centre was fully booked, but they kindly arranged a private session for me the next day at a different location. From the moment we arrived, Pete gave us the warmest welcome. He was incredibly kind, professional, friendly and funny—you can truly feel how much he loves what he does. And let me say, he is the best instructor you could ever ask for. Clear, patient, encouraging, and fun. He explained everything so well, and the hour flew by—I genuinely wish I had booked two! My kids came along and had a great time watching and even helping Pete throw in a few extra challenges for me. We laughed so much and made unforgettable memories. Pete was so generous with his compliments and encouragement that I felt I should have done this million years ago, haha 😂 Thank you Pete. I absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who loves excitement, speed, a bit of a challenge—or just wants to try something new. It’s totally worth it. I’d go back in a heartbeat! Always give them a call if online is booked out.
We had an amazing time clay pigeon shooting with Peter! From the moment we arrived, he made everyone feel welcome and completely at ease—even those of us who had never held a shotgun before. His instructions were super clear, encouraging, and delivered with just the right balance of professionalism and humour. Peter created a relaxed and fun atmosphere while still keeping things safe and well-organised. He clearly knows his stuff and made the whole experience enjoyable for all ages and abilities. Thanks, Peter, for such a memorable day—we’ll definitely be recommending you to friends and family!
