Further Description
  •   Otterburn Tower, lying deep in the Northumbrian countryside, is an ideal location for all forms of shooting. There is the space, the atmosphere, the skills and the game and thus the combination to provide a memorable experience.   A short walk away from the hotel, the clay target shooting is for experienced people and complete beginners alike. Our fully qualified instructor is one of the country’s top shots! You will learn how to handle the shot gun, safety guidelines and then practise your skills in beautiful countryside.After a well earned coffee break, your skills can be assessed before the competition begins in earnest! At the end of 1 - 2 hours we hope you will be competent and at least want to try again tomorrow! The site we use is constructed to CPSA standards and we can arrange fully qualified tuition or for the experienced, 2/3 hours of shooting. Prices include the use of the shotgun, instruction and all clays and cartridges (see Tariff, below).     We prepare you carefully for the big day, on the Friday evening you will meet the members of your shooting team and share a dram or two in front of a roaring log fire while you order dinner. This will be a meal to remember and will leave you in an optimistic mood for the morrow. For these shoots, a Northumbrian breakfast will put you in good shape for an on-site start about 9 o’clock. There is always an introductory talk about safety. You will be driven in 4x4s to the location for probably, four drives before lunch.In the afternoon you can expect two more drives, dependent upon whether the bag has already been exceeded. Then, a light snack to fuel the journey back to the comforts and celebratory indulgences of Otterburn Tower, followed by another of our fabulous dinners, with a fine wine cellar at your disposal.For partridge and pheasant we send you to a neighbouring estate which is known for producing enviable bags. If grouse and duck are your target, then that too can be provided at yet another nearby estate. Finally there is the opportunity for deer stalking. You will be accompanied by our local gamekeeper, so you will be in expert hands for a challenging dawn and dusk in the woods.   The rates are per person, sharing a twin/double room for dinner bed and breakfast and lunch and other refreshments on the shooting day. If your partner does not wish to shoot, we provide a ‘fireside’ menu lunch in the hotel with a half bottle of house wine and later an afternoon tea.
