Blyton Shooting Ground is a premier destination in Lincolnshire for clay target enthusiasts, situated within the scenic Pyewipe Hall Farm. Transformed under the leadership of owner Billy Cook, the facility has evolved from its former identity as Pinewood into a top-tier sporting hub recognized for its hospitality and professional standards. The ground is particularly famous for its technically sophisticated course design, where natural landscape features are utilized to create deceptive and rewarding target presentations that challenge even seasoned shooters.
The facility is highly automated, featuring 12 frequently updated stands for English Sporting, along with dedicated layouts for English Skeet and Sportrap. All shooting lines are equipped with the Promatic Claymate system, which facilitates seamless solo use, allowing individuals to practice at their own pace without the need for a manual trapper. Future expansion plans include the addition of DTL (Down the Line) and ABT (Automatic Ball Trap) disciplines.
Education is a core pillar of the ground, anchored by the presence of world-class coach Becky McKenzie, a multi-title World and European Champion. Whether you are a beginner looking for a "Have a Go" session or a competitive athlete seeking a FITASC masterclass, the training programs are tailored to fine-tune every aspect of the shooter's technique. The inclusion of a dedicated clubhouse and the Blyton Cafe ensures that visitors can enjoy a full range of hospitality services, from traditional breakfasts to corporate catering.
