DESCRIPTION
Bywell Shooting Ground features good practice facilities, a packed roster of competitive events and a top-quality gun room offering a wide variety of products and services.
▉ There is an excellent selection of disciplines onsite for those looking to brush up on their skills. Bywell has recently installed a new Claymate system across its grounds too, meaning experienced shooters can now enjoy all available disciplines with the minimum of fuss.
▉ Full lessons are available for those wanting to delve deeper into their technique. Lessons are advised for beginners or those looking to take on one of Bywell’s many competitive events. Competitions range from special charity shoots through to regional, national and even international championships.
▉ In the clubhouse, shooters can dine on classic shooting-ground fare and explore the extensive, recently renovated gunroom. It features a vast range of shotguns, rifles, ammunition and country clothing, presided over by a team of expert gun fitters.
▉ Of course, these fitters will help customers find a gun that fits. But they also work to educate customers on the wider market, with the aim of finding each customer a suitable gun specific to their needs.
▉ Bywell shows its dedication to its customers through its instructors and fitters. This shooter-centric approach has helped the ground develop into one of the most respected in the North East.
