What a location ....first class establishment, all instruction was of the highest quality. As a member of HM Forces I have been involved with firearms for the last 40 years....the range practises were delivered in the safest manner that you would expect from such professional staff. Jonathan was the calmest easy going instructor that I could have wished for seeing that neither my wife or son had ever held let lone fired a Glock 17 Before. Just a great family thing to do and enjoy
