Shooting Through The Ages

What’s It all About?

For the more eccentric: perhaps cannon firing and some musketry – even duelling on the lawns with the genuine article! These are all part of this ever-increasing suite of choices, designed to satisfy the quirkiest of tastes.

Guests may try their hand at a range of shooting activities, suitable for all age and fitness levels. All activities combine participation along with a display by the fully qualified instructor. All safety equipment will be provided during the programme.

Competitive types will love the activities as each challenge is scored, allowing for a great deal of friendly rivalry.

LYC would provide Henri Lloyd Waterproof jackets in the event of inclement weather. In addition, each activity has its own gazebo shelter.

Black Powder Shooting
Black Power Shooting (antique weapons, flintlocks, blunderbusses) is a superb opportunity for guests to gain a fascinating insight in to shooting of a bygone era. The guns are genuine weapons, and with the instructors in period costume guests will really feel they are in the 18th century.

Cannon Firing
This activity can only be explained as an experience of a lifetime. With a life like castle as a target your challenge is to take it out! Your only source of aim is to move the cannon, or reduce/increase the gunpowder levels. Exploding cannon balls are also available which self detonate at a set height. Big Bangs & Big explosions!!!
