Welcome to Shane Smith Shooting Academy
Located adjacent to Thurlaston Brooke, Huncote Mill offers spectacular scenery and immaculately kept grounds to compliment the Shooting activities.
We are a private Shooting Ground offering tuition in the sports of Clay Shooting, Archery, Air Rifle and Cross Bow. We specialise in personal attention, welcoming individuals and small groups. All have exclusive use of our time and facilities so the occasions are private, fun and not pressurized by other shooters.
The Clay Shooting boasts both Sport Trap and a landscaped Sporting layout; the Archery a themed Castle with field and paper targets. The Air Rifle is shot from a Fort with an exciting and challenging range; wildlife is so unfazed by these activities that pheasant, partridge and duck are frequent spectators and the mill pond is visited daily by the resident kingfishers, mink, ducks and many fish. All these features add up to a unique situation which we wish to share with you.
Every person we talk to has different ideas and parameters for maximizing the enjoyment of their sport and we do our very best to accommodate all of these. It may be an unusual time scale, young spectators or selective activities on a limited budget. We are happy to organize our time and facilities to suit all of these; our prices and packages are just a starting point for discussion, if you want a variation that’s not listed then please, just ask. We are always adding to our facilities and activities. New for 2007 were the Air Rifle and
