A great training ground for game shots in Surrey
This smart
ground is located within the historic Bisley camp some 30 miles from London. It is headquartered in an attractive wooden clubhouse and encompasses two shooting
areas: Cottesloe Heath and Long Siberia. Both lie in an unspoiled setting of some 3,000 acres of Surrey heathland. The targets are especially good for game-shots and include interesting "flushes" and "drives". There is an excellent grouse simulation and Bisley's grouse butts allow for birds to be taken realistically behind the line as well as in front. The tower is the highest in Europe and can present birds from 50ft to 200ft-plus.
Under the leadership of shooting manager, John Heagren, the instructors all use the same methods and techniques. Gunfitting is offered and a set of personal measurements issued, with a copy kept on file for future reference. The ground not only caters for game-shots but sporting-clay shooters as well. Unusually, it is open seven days a week. Individual lessons cost from £75 per hour (£85 with Heagren); juniors (16 and under) £43 (£48,
Heagren).
