BISLEY
here are few activities left that anyone can do with zero experience that are unlike anything else. You can’t fly a plane or drive a speed boat but you can try clay pigeon shooting. One of the fastest growing sports in Europe where you enjoy the adrenalin rush of blasting a flying clay target into smithereens with a shotgun, and have a spectacularly fun time! Bisley Shooting Ground is Europe’s largest sporting clay school, making the sport accessible to everyone (no experience is necessary) whilst retaining the feel of the old gentry shoot. Their quintessentially 1865 Victorian clubhouse provides the perfect ambiance with a welcoming crackling fire, well stocked bar, relaxed seating and chilled background music. Originally located on Wimbledon Common in 1865 as the HQ for government advisors on the future of shooting, one day a politician was strolling round the common in his top hat and tails and a stray musket bullet went through his top hat! The clubhouse was subsequently dismantled piece by piece in 1895 and relocated to Bisley, Surrey. The Bisley logo features a top hat with a hole through it.
Today, still a family run business and a world-class shooting venue it has state of the art facilities and the greatest passion for introducing new people to the sport. Far from a male dominated, elite sport associated with animals, it’s
