Headley Clay Pigeon Shooting Club is a multi-award-winning, family-run establishment with over 32 years of history. Set within 11 acres of secluded forest in the picturesque Surrey Hills, it has been repeatedly recognized as one of the top shooting grounds in the UK and the best experience in Southern England. The club is distinguished by its commitment to safety, exceptional customer service, and award-winning target layouts that cater to all skill levels.
The facility features three specialized arenas offering English Sporting, Down the Line (DTL), and Compak Sporting disciplines. A key "highlight" of the ground is its use of the natural forest terrain to create challenging and diverse flight paths, including simulated game targets like Pheasant, Woodcock, Teal, and Rabbit, alongside a high tower for vertical complexity. The club utilizes professional automation, including voice-activated systems for DTL and high-capacity traps from brands like Promatic.
