IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

GAME CARTRIDGES are not permitted at High Lodge (MAX 28g/7.5) Anyone caught using game loads will be asked to stop shooting
It is compulsory that everyone who enters the shooting area (and that includes air rifle shooting), wears eye and ear protection at all times. We also recommend the wearing of hat such as a baseball cap.
Spectators may accompany shooters, but shooters retain responsibility for their spectators.
Guns must be broken at all times until in the shooting position, unless carried in a sleeve.
Keep to the paths and obey all safety signs.
We highly recommend the wearing of closed footwear and rugged clothing.
Children under the age of 6yrs are not permitted in the shooting area at anytime.

How Does It Work?

All practice stands at High Lodge are operated on a 'Pay & Play' basis. Our counter system supported by all automatic clay machines offers options for the solo shooter as well as voice activated targets on our Compak/Sportrap layouts.

Once you have checked in at reception, you will be provided with a counter card, which will count the clays as you use them. If you have any problems out on the ground, we ask that you call reception (contact number on every stand) so we can rectify any issues.

All clays are currently charged at £42.00 per 100 (£37.00 member's rates)
