Edgehill Shooting Ground is a prestigious clay pigeon shooting facility with a legacy spanning over 40 years, situated in a scenic valley on the Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border. Recognized as a CPSA Premier Ground, it is managed by experienced professionals like Mr. T Spencer and is widely regarded for its undulating topography, which provides naturally challenging and unique target trajectories.
The facility is exceptionally well-equipped, featuring 28 stands and supporting 8 distinct disciplines. To maintain a dynamic shooting environment, the majority of the traps are mounted on 4x4 trucks, allowing the staff to frequently alter layouts and flight paths.
Key Disciplines and Equipment:
Disciplines: English Sporting, Compact Sporting, English Skeet, Olympic Skeet, ABT (Automatic Ball Trap), DTL (Down the Line), Universal Trench, and Double Trap.
Technology: High-performance Promatic traps integrated with the Progretti electronic system for precise control.
Unique Features: A 170ft high tower designed for elite-level simulated game practice, mimicking high-driven pheasant and partridge.
For those seeking professional development, Edgehill provides expert instruction for all skill levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned competitive shooters. The ground is inclusive and accessible, offering three dedicated stands for novices and infrastructure suitable for shooters using wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Additionally, a modern 60m air rifle range was added in 2021 to diversify the facility's offerings.
