Don Coyote Outdoor Centre offers a taste of the Wild West in the scenic Borders

-

WHAT do you get when you mix the Scottish Borders with the Wild West? Don Coyote Outdoor Centre, which is located in the scenic countrysid­e of Lamancha, just 20 minutes from Peebles.

Don Coyote offers all sorts of outdoor shooting activities – including clay pigeon shooting, .22 rifle shooting and even archery.

Anyone over the age of 12 can have a go at rifle or clay pigeon shooting, while over-14s can try a bow and arrow, as long as they are accompanie­d by an adult.

That means teens and pre-teens will have a blast alongside the rest of the family in this fun but controlled environmen­t.

The centre was set up in 2010 by entreprene­ur Jamie Flynn, who – along with his expert staff – is always on hand to ensure a day at Don Coyote is enjoyed safely by all.

“Our customers enjoy the personal touch – from the first point of contact to the last shot, they get a one-to-one, hands-on experience.

“The thrill of shooting in a safe and profession­al setting lets them have the experience of a lifetime – no two days are the same at Don Coyote,” Jamie says.

“The rolling hills of the Borders, which surround the centre, are as much of an attraction as the shooting itself,” Jamie says.

“The beautiful and rugged Scottish countrysid­e is stunning,” he says. “We’ve been lucky enough to meet people from every corner of the world – from Alaska, Fiji and South Africa to name a few!”

Offering the chance for anyone to experience the sport of shooting for their first or 100th time, Don Coyote Outdoor Centre is one of premier places in the Borders for a high-octane thrill.
