Learn from FITASC Champion John Bidwell

High Lodge was built on a greenfield site by six-times World FITASC Champion John Bidwell.

I have known Biddy for years; he is not only a fabulous shotgun marksman and teacher but a very hard worker and a great salesman. He always seems to be building or plugging something new. Consequently, High Lodge offers golf, fishing ponds, chalets and an ever-bigger clubhouse. It is situated halfway between Ipswich and Lowestoft, just off the A12 near Southwold. Shooting facilities include four skeet ranges, down the line, compact sporting, FITASC and numerous woodland sporting stands (with exceptional and deceptive targets).
There are 60ft and 120ft towers.

A team of professional instructors delivers John's Move-Mount-Shoot technique to all comers. It is an instinctive maintained-lead system that does not in-volve deliberate measuring. A one-hour adult instruction session costs from £55. John himself no longer teaches by the hour. He does, how-ever, offer one-day shooting clinics in which a place (there may be up to four in a group) costs £250. Practice clays are priced from 26p per clay, membership is available for £50 for a year (CPSA members, £40), which gives discounts of up to 15%.
