Shooting range in South Wales.

[ZOLLAR]

Are there any shooting ranges in South wales, preferably within 30 - 40 miles of Swansea?
Sorting a day out with my team and this was one of the options brought up (I brought it up )

There is a 200 metre indoor range on Barry Island - Google Crown House Armoury.

What type of shooting? If your after clay pidgeons, recently heard of this one http://www.crynant-shooting-ground.co.uk

I would imagine that getting a corporate event at a rifle range would be almost impossible.

Thanks for that, they mention they do group events there will be about 10 of us.

Sorry for the asking a possibly stupid question but Clay Pidgeon that is with Live guns it's not like air pistols or anything is it?

Yes, a 'Clay Pidgeon' is essentially a big saucer that is thrown out by a machine in various directions (like a frisbee) that you shoot with 12 bore shotguns. Another word for is skeet shooting (an olympic sport).

The Severnside side range mentioned is an outdoor target range that you use big rifles on (I shot .762 and .303 rifles there in the 80's). There are huge restrictions on such shooting and is not a pay and shoot set up, unlike clay pidgeons/shotguns.

treetops in newport is awesome. i went there on a stag do and the owner is a good laugh, they are also willing to do a discounted deal on group bookings. only 5 mins from the tredegar round about off m4

the range is used for some high flying championship as well so the range is challenging and fun, not just a plain old flat feild with hay bales and some clays
