Thimbleby
Shooting Ground lies in an unspoiled idyllic rural setting on
the edge of the Thimbleby Estate, North Yorkshire. Surrounded
by thousands of acres of heath and woodlands, the area around
the shooting ground has been described as one of the most beautiful
in the North.
The
shooting ground is managed by David Cutts (CPSA) and offers
two separate shooting areas, comprising of over 15 stands offering
access for the disabled, ample parking and toilets facilities
on site.
Every
type of clay 'bird' and 'ground game' can be presented to suit
both the novice and the experienced shot. In addition to our
double trap stands, we can generate the most testing 'sequences'
of up to 100 birds each, at regularly changed angles and speeds.
Simulated drives including the now famous grouse drive
'Hobson's Choice' reputed to be the best and most realistic
anywhere.
Enjoy
the challenge of the high clay pheasants at Thimbleby, of rising
teal, bolting rabbits, driven grouse and of bursting partridges
followed by the welcome of our clubhouse. Thimbleby Shooting
Ground offers a personal service using experienced instructors
and guides, tailored to suit your individual requirements. Please
refer to the tuition page.
Thimbleby
Shooting Ground is open for tuition, practice, corporate and
charity events throughout the year and floodlight on Tuesday
evening during winter period. The infectious enthusiasm
of everyone here will ensure that whatever your age or standard
you will not forget the Thimbleby "Experience" under
the guidance of our resident coaches

to a traditional driven game day, but substituting game birds
