      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.

      Be careful if buying a voucher. Good place though
      Myself and my Wife have been to Polowood on a few occasions over the years, and always had a good experience. The guidance given on how to handle to weapon, aim etc is top-notch and delivered in a personable, understandable way. My Wife loves the clay pigeon shooting! I was recently disappointed however, that Polowood was not able to exercise a little discretion when I bought my Wife a Birthday present of a £75 voucher back in December. My Wife's birthday is right at the beginning of January and naturally the weather was not conducive to go shooting and so we waited until it was, but given the state of our summer by the time we got to book, the voucher had just expired I asked for an extension but was only offered two dates, both weekdays in the morning, which we couldn't take given we both work (which is how I afforded the gift voucher in the first place) So my advice is, go to Polowood. It is brilliant and very professionally run, but don't buy a gift voucher in the winter and if you get one, be aware that they expire after six months I suppose, on the plus side, at least they saved on ammo. We're not particularly good shots! :-)

      Great idea for a fun day out.
      Had an hour of axe throwing today. Great day, Nathan was keen to teach us the safety of each range first, but then just let us get on with it. As well as the hatchets, he showed us how to throw knives, tomahawks and a great big battle axe, then went round helping the group improve our techniques. They also do shooting and archery, and we could have happily stayed longer if they hadn't been fully booked. At the end of our session, Nathan was a total legend and gave us a lift to the local pub in the minibus. Would heartily recommend this activity centre to those who want to blow off a little steam and have some good laughs.

      Air Rifle Shooting
      We had a fantastic time at Polowood Shooting Ground, we did an hour Air Rifle Shoot and our instructor was Jack who was friendly and explained things really well, he was great. Everyone was very welcoming and a beautiful location. Me and my husband got the highest score at the 'shoot out' at the end,beating our son which was quite satisfying! Thank you for a great time we all loved it 5 stars.

    As a mixed adult family of 7 this was our first visit and we did a 4 hour taster session including archery, axe throwing, air rifle and clay pigeon shooting. We had an amazing day. Very friendly, knowledgable and patient staff with a special mention to Nathan who was superb! Safety was a priority but it didn’t take away from the fun and a bit of healthy competition.
    Would highly recommend!

    Fantastic way to spend a few hours. Friends and I did the complete package and it was a blast. Very friendly and helpful staff all with great banter and an awesome approach as instructors. The location is really quite spectacular and well kept. We were a stag party of ten and Jack made sure there were plenty of laughs throughout the day.

    All in all a great experience and I would 100% recommend for anyone.

    Brilliant afternoon, we did 25 clay shootgun shooting and one hour is Air rifle. Bernie, George and Nathan are absolutely stars, they made it such a relaxing time. Hot tea and coffee on arrival and during our time there, the air rifle games were so much fun. We're definitely be coming back in the summer.

    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!

    Amazing experience! Certainly worth it if you think you might be interested in this!

    All instructors are incredibly friendly, approachable, and clearly experience.

    We tried each activity, and they manage the times perfectly, as it never felt rushed nor that it was talking too long

    The competitive element of the taster session also add an extra touch to the experience.

    Would highly recommend

    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.
