Getting started..

New to Shooting?

Start Your Clay Shooting Journey with Confidence

Whether you've never held a gun before or are looking to take up shooting more seriously, Atkin Grant & Lang is the ideal place to begin.

At AGL, everyone is welcome — regardless of experience, ability, or age. We recommend a minimum starting age of 8 as clay shooting can be physically demanding. Our purpose-built teaching area and selection of club guns are designed to suit shooters of all shapes and sizes.

Supportive, Structured Tuition

If you're new to the sport, our instructors will guide you through all the key aspects of getting started. Your first lessons will typically cover:

  • Gun safety and handling

  • Equipment and etiquette

  • How a shotgun works

  • Proper stance and footwork

  • Mounting the gun

  • Target engagement and lead techniques

Our goal is to provide a strong foundation of shooting skills that will help you progress confidently and safely.

Intermediate & Advanced Coaching

For more experienced shots, we tailor each session to focus on your personal goals — whether it's improving consistency, tackling a specific target type, or preparing for a competition.

Booking Your Lesson

Advanced booking is essential. You can book online or by contacting our reception team. 

All of our instructors are approachable, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions throughout your session.
