      Excellent experience
      Excellent team, experienced and very friendly. Good value. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again soon. I had thought 4 hours would be too long but the time flew past.

      Definitely coming again 10/10
      Such a fun experience for a first time shooter and an experienced shooter, catering for different difficulties. Would definitely go again, the staff were really helpful and friendly. Special thanks for Pete and Ollie! It was great to go during the weekday, less busy and enjoyable day out.

      Great day with unexpected bonus of discovering we could do it and were good.
      We went to celebrate my husbands 80th birthday and had a fantastic time. All staff were professional, the tutors helping you to achieve the best that you could. Loved the rifle shooting and knocking down the little ducks in a row, wide variety of types of shot to be taken here. The shotgun was a bit more tricky, however managed to hit the clays and always 'just missed' that rabbit. The axe and knife throwing took skill but was well worth the effort. The free tea and coffee helped the day go well and all the tutors (Ollie and Ethan or was that Nathan?) were amazing.

      Perfect introduction to clay shooting
      We attended as complete beginners having never fired a gun before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. We were greeted by friendly and approachable staff who created a welcoming environment for novices, patiently showing us how to safely operate the weaponry and get the best out of the session. The site is well run and organised and we had plenty of time at each station to get a feel for the various techniques we were being introduced to. There were some much more experienced members there too who were very friendly and happy to offer tips and advice to us. I highly recommend Polowood to anyone curious about clay shooting. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will certainly be visiting again!

      Great experience for beginners!
      The whole experience was a very positive one. We had initially booked a couple of weeks ago but my hubby was poorly and had to go into hospital and very kindly we were allowed to re-schedule- so thanks very much for that. The instructors were all really good, I was actually quite scared but they were so calm and re-assuring. The instructions were clear and informative and because of this I was able to hit quite a few clays - I had not really anticipated hitting any at all - so that was a huge bonus. The addition of a welcome coffee/tea was lovely and set us up for our morning beautifully. We were lucky with the weather, grey but not windy or wet, and relatively mild for the time of year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this activity - give it a go - you will enjoy it!

      Amazing day trip
      My girlfriend surprised me with axe throwing and air rifle shooting for a date day, had an amazing time especially with axes. The staff were great with us, encouraging and great at teaching us. I would encourage people to come by car if possible as its hard to get taxis out there to pick you up. I struggle with panic attacks when I feel trapped and upon realising it could be a struggle to get out I began to feel one coming on but the staff instantly came to reassure me and offered a lift into the village after where I could get a bus home from. Olly was great with the shooting, Nathan and his son showed me a lot with the axe throwing, and Nathan is the one who gave me a lift back out and checked I'm with me every now and again to make sure I was OK with getting out that way along with a bald gentleman whose name I didn't get who checked on me and reassured me too. All in all 11/10 experience and will be back.

      So much fun
      The staff at Polowood were fantastic. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We tried all four activities for an hour each. The day was very well organised and well run. I felt safe even when using live rounds in the shotguns which were always loaded by the staff members. I would highly recommend

      If you're contemplating it - Good fun great experience - Excellent value for money
      10 of us took part in the taster session, all ran smoothly, would have liked more time for sure. Great fun had by all, no injuries. Some instructors definitely more experienced than others. They need more instructors so call them if you're up for it , I would if I lived closer! Definitely look forward to going back when the next opportunity arises! Set in lovely surroundings, there may be a little noise from the shotguns so thanks to the neighbours for putting up with it, its a small price to pay. If you haven't been you should have a go I'm sure they'll give you a neighbours discount, they are a nice bunch!

      Great fun, highly recommend!
      Excellent 2 hour archery experience with Dave the instructor. We wanted to try something different and booked this up. It was excellent and friendly from the moment we arrived and were greeted in the car park, the mini bus ride up to the shooting ground and the welcome on site. Dave was a fantastic instructor, patient and helpful and with his guidance we definitely improved. Highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to try something a bit different and fun. Just to add Polowood was good value and a better price compared to many we researched.

      Highly recommend.
      A really special place in a stunning countryside setting. I have been twice with my two sons for air rifle shooting and archery. I was really impressed at the professional, yet relaxed, atmosphere. Staff were so friendly and welcoming and great with my autistic boys. My sons can't wait to return and I am very happy to support this business. Highly recommend.

      First timers and highly recommend!
      The crew were very accommodating for our group (15) and took us through the necessary training/instructions for us to have a great time! Quite a few of us were first timers and came away thinking "we should definitely come back" and that "we'll be better next time". A great laugh and a lot of fun!

      'The Archers'
      My friend and I had never experienced archery before, but after Gary's training, we felt confident that we would eventually hit the bullseye 🎯. ....and we did! From the booking to the event itself, all went like clockwork - we were given such a friendly welcome plus a free cup of tea (or coffee) 😁. If you've never tried archery before - this is a great venue to learn. Lots of other activities are available too e.g. axe throwing, clay pigeon, shooting range etc.

      It was a great decision to try a tasting session. I had a fantastic time! They picked us up with a van from the designated location. We were greeted with warm drinks :). The staff is extremely kind, and the instructors are amazing. Four hours of fun. Would I go again? Absolutely yes. It's quite therapeutic and helps with focus.I recommend it.

      Amazing experience!
      Cannot recommend this place enough. We did the 50 clay pigeon shooting and Pip was absolutely amazing; so patient, knowledgable and friendly! I’m a complete beginner and I started the lesson completely missing the clays to ending the session with beating my boyfriend! We will definitely be returning!

    Beautiful location in the country! The team, Gary and Bernie in particular, were extremely kind, welcoming, and encouraging. We’d never gone to a shooting range before yet with their helpful coaching we left there quite proud of our achievement. Thank you, Polowood! We loved our time with you.

    Finding something to do with a teenager and yourselves can be challenging however this was a perfect fit. Whilst my 15 year old son homed into his PS4 skills, I was fuelled by my desire to win! We booked rifle shooting via Gary and were hosted by George who was great at walking us through the techniques- I was particularly impressed how he engaged with my son, encouraging him and explaining techniques. It’s a short drive out from the main Brighton area. You drive through some winding country lanes before you arrive at an area where you park your car. Here you will be greeted by your host- note the phone signal is weak but luckily one of our networks had just enough signal to call and let them know we had arrived. You are then driven to an area via a mini bus (less than 5 mins) through a winding lane. The grounds are perfectly placed for archery, rifle shooting and axe throwing. Expect to be there about an hour and a half overall. Highly recommend.

    Excellent air rifle session at Polowood today, first time for my friend Lizzie and she was awesome. We booked an hour not a training session but they took the time to walk Lizzie through every aspect and every safety measure ensuring she was comfortable and confident. Great experience and good fun, thanks guys we will be back.

    When we arrived we rang the radio on the shed and were picked up shortly after to be taken up the hill. The staff and team were so great and most of the guns were new. We were able to compete on the timed rabbits and even got a quick go on the axe throwing as another team were running behind.

    It was a great day and location, definitely heading back to try out the rest of the activities!

    The air rifle shooting was a lot of fun! There was also axe throwing, archery and clay pigeon shooting which all looked good. I think we will be going back to try the others. Guys there were very friendly and helpful and they offer tea or coffee

    I came across Polowood shooting ground by chance whilst looking for fun activities for my son to have a go at other than enjoying the beach at Brighton. My son and I absolutely loved air riffle shooting. George was fantastic in guiding us through our 1st ever shooting experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this activity and it felt like it finished too quickly! We also had a go at Archery with Pip who was also great. We would definitely recommend this place as the activities were very enjoyable and the staff are very polite, friendly and fun. We were running a little late for our start but Gary was very comforting when we called to inform him. Very accommodating for my one member of our family who attended to watch only.
    Excellent team, fantastic activity. Will definite book again when we return to Brighton. Thanks to George, Gary and Pip.

    This was our first time shooting so we were a little anxious on what to expect however the guys here were great. They spent the time with us so that we were comfortable with the gun and gave us tips as the session carried on. Would highly recommend for first time shooters/beginners!

    Superb - first time clay pigeon shooting and I was a little bit worried about being terrible at it. Really good experience overall and made special by Bernie, Gary and last but certainly not least the almighty Pip. Top lads and they made it a great experience for our stag party.
