The Nation's Favourite Shooting Ground
Southdown Gun Club is located in West Sussex just north of Findon, in the middle of the beautiful South Downs National Park. Established in 1984, the clay pigeon shooting centre recently celebrated 40 years of shooting and has previously won the Nations Favourite Shooting Ground six years in a row as voted for by the readers of Clay Shooting Magazine.
It is now one of the largest shooting centres in the UK.
We are members of the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association CPSA and are accredited with the sought after Premier Ground Status. We have a fully stocked Gun Shop and are open for practice shooting and tuition every week with registered competitions most Sundays.

Shooting Experiences
Why not "Have-a-go"?
Our taster sessions are the perfect way for beginners to try their hand at busting clays, all at our award-winning clay pigeon shooting range!
We offer many experience packages to choose from, the “Have-a-Go” sessions start at 15/25/30/50/60 clays per person, the most popular being the 30 target shoot. If you want to make more of a day of it, the 50 & 60 clay packages can be split into two sessions with a break in between for refreshments in our Café.
A great way to enjoy a bit of everything we have to offer at Southdown is our ‘Try Southdown’ sessions. With this you get to shoot 15 clays, have 15 shots with one of 3 shot semi auto shotguns, have a go at axe throwing and hit some targets on our fun air rifle range.
A typical private shoot day starts with a breakfast roll on arrival. You’ll have a chance to meet your fellow guests before receiving a safety briefing ahead of the main event.
Competitions
Southdown Gun Club and Shooting School is renowned for its competition shooting historically since the club’s inception in 1984.
