Cleeve Hill Shoot is a clay pigeon shooting ground situated in the picturesque countryside near Bristol Airport, United Kingdom. Located on the unique limestone terrain of the Cotswolds, it provides a welcoming yet highly challenging environment for everyone, from complete novices to seasoned athletes. The venue’s standout feature is its high-altitude topography (up to 330 meters), where unpredictable wind corridors create incredibly complex target trajectories, offering a true ballistic challenge.
The facility primarily focuses on English Sporting, hosting regular tournaments and casual events tailored to a wide variety of skill levels. It serves as an exceptional training ground where professional instructors provide flexible coaching—ranging from one-on-one sessions focusing on advanced technique for experts, to comprehensive safety and basic stance briefings for first-timers. The complex wind conditions make it a premier location for athletes preparing for major national CPSA competitions.
Beyond professional training, Cleeve Hill Shoot operates as a highly versatile event hub. It is a popular destination for corporate team-building, stag and hen parties, and family days out. The welcoming "pay and play" model, complete with club gun rentals and full safety gear, ensures that urban residents and tourists can easily access the sport without needing prior licensing or equipment.
