What to do and see in Yorkshire, England: The Best Shooting Ranges

February 6, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Booked this for me and my brothers as part of a fun filled camping weekend and this experience just made it extra special. We loved every second! Such an incredible feeling and new to us all! Neither of us had shot a gun before and we was all a tad nervous to say the least, but the instructor made us feel comfortable within seconds of introducing himself. He was very progressional and down to earth friendly. The whole experience was amazing! I can’t recommend it enough. We have vowed that we will return every year.

Thimbleby Shooting Ground

We welcome all to Thimbleby Shooting Ground. Although we offer lessons to people of all abilities, we welcome anyone with their own license to come and shoot unaccompanied. (Non-License holders are also welcome but must be accompanied by a license holder.) We operate a simple Promatic Claymate system which allows users to purchase clay credits from the clubhouse to simply pick and choose which stands and targets they wish to shoot until the credit is used up. The intelligent solo delay system even allows solo shooters to trap for themselves. We offer a wide range of sporting targets including high driven, springing teal, crossing partridge, bolting rabbit as well as a compact range next to the clubhouse. We have a simple colour coding system on each of our stands allowing you to assess the difficulty of each stand without ‘wasting clays’; Colours from friendly GREEN, to RED, to the more challenging BLACK targets. We have introduced an Air Rifle Range to Thimbleby Shooting Ground with a number of varied targets from knockdown targets, spinners, duelling trees and even some hidden exploding ones! This can offer hours of fun to people of all ages and abilities, we have both pre charged and springing air rifles to hire for those without their own gun.

We recently visited Thimbleby shooting ground and had a fantastic time. Both of us had never had any experience shooting before but we were helped a lot by our instructor phil and by the end of the lesson we found we could hit the clays more consistently. It was enjoyable and not only was he friendly and patient he gave us good tips on how to improve and tried different things. Thank you for a great experience and I would recommend this place to anyone perfect for beginners too. We will be definitely coming back again!

Took my son today for a try shoot at Phoenix and am impressed with these guys from beginning to end Booked over the phone with ease, confirmation and receipt sent through within minutes Got there a little early, booked in for the shoot very easily and enjoyed a coffee in their gorgeous lounge whilst waiting. Glen, our instructor “collected” us from the lounge and along with 2 others in the group gave us a brief tour before going into the instruction room where he gave us an entertaining but very thorough briefing on the gun, shooting and all relevant safety procedures He was so good he even managed to keep a 12 year old boy engaged !!! The shooting lanes themselves are amazing, modern, clean and very safe. We’re so nice felt guilty leaving the spent casings on the floor when we left ! The shooting was great fun and am seriously considering joining long term Glen was fantastic, entertaining whilst making sure everyone was safe at all times, professional yet very helpful even when my lad decided to adult gun was too heavy just before we went down to the shooting lanes. He changed his gun without issue and “trained” him thoroughly Honestly can not recommend this place enough. If you fancy trying shooting or just want a bit of a different day out you will not be disappointed

Reviewed By Mumbolard

Booked a 25-clay taster session yesterday at Straight Shooters. It was the boys first time after years of air rifle shooting and even though they were just 14 and 16, Chris and Andrea put them completely at ease and we all had a whale of a time. The tuition, welcome and overall experience was superb. The boys were thrilled to hit 31/50 and 18/25 clays to get one over on their old man and the professional, yet easy going attitude displayed by Chris and Andrea made a massive difference. We will definitely be back for another season and I can't recommend this place enough, whether you are a first timer, or a seasoned shooter. Thank you Mike

We went on a date to Adventure Now in Sheffield to do Archery. Our instructor was Vaughn and he was absolutely brilliant!! The session was an hour and due to Covid, it was just myself and my friend being looked after by Vaughn. We got set up and had a thorough training for health and safety and use of the bows and arrows. After a couple of rounds, Vaughn introduced some games for us to play, was thoroughly enthusiastic through-out and we had some excellent chats with him through the hour. It was an excellent way to spend the hour, something really different and interesting and we both found the day extremely enjoyable. Thanks to the team!

I would highly recommend this place, to anyone thinking of taking up shooting and wanting advice and guidance, and to seasoned shooters who want to take part in competitions or just have the carmeradary of belonging to a shooting community.
