"I
have had nothing but great feedback from all of the
eighteen people that attended and there is now even
talk about coming back for a 2nd attempt at the shooting
as everyone’s trigger finger seems to be itching
for another go!
I’ve attached some photos of the day for you to use
on your website.
Again, thank you all for your professionalism, patience,
and astounding ability to get those of us with the
hand/eye co-ordination of lame ducks to hit something."
"Just a short note to say that we all had a great time on Saturday. The
wind made the conditions "challenging" but we all had a really good
day out."
"Just to let you know we had an absolutely fab day - the guys were brilliant
and we really enjoyed ourselves.
I
will be recommending it to anyone. Thanks again"
"Many
thanks for a fantastic and memorable day shooting.
We definitely discovered we've hidden talents (and
vices!)"
