Owner Allan Henry guides Jasper Fellows through everything on offer at Bywell Shooting Ground

There are more than enough layouts to keep everyone happy

orty years ago, Bywell Shooting Ground was little more than a few traps in the corner of one of Allan Henry’s fields. Today it stands as one of the UK’s greatest competition grounds and offers a vast array of targets and disciplines alongside a truly remarkable, fully modernised gun room and country store.

With so much on offer, the best place for any experienced shooter to start is with a practice session. “We want all of our customers to have the best possible experience, even if they are just coming in for a casual session,” says Allan.

“To ensure that they do, we have staff caddying each discipline. The staff member can score and button for each shooter, so they can relax and enjoy their shooting. Of course, the staff also ensure the highest standards of safety, and in the rare occasion of a fault or no bird, they can step in and rectify the situation straight away.”
