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.
