West London Shooting School 4.68

The West London Shooting School was founded in 1901 by Richmond Watson. With the sport enjoying unprecedented popularity in Edwardian England, he identified a need to improve accuracy and style, together with correct gun-fit.

Twice voted ‘Best shooting ground in the country’, we provide tailored tuition designed to match your individual ability and help you develop your own style. Our teaching is rooted in the expert tuition of the great Percy Stanbury, but we draw on the latest sports instruction techniques to suit every shot, whether your interest is in game or clays.

Whilst the layout of the shooting grounds is essentially the same as it was in the 1930s, many improvements have been made, including the use of bunding to increase safe capacity and to accommodate popular corporate layouts. The number of traps has steadily grown to over 100 to cover all types of sporting targets and also to allow the development of the FITASC and sporting courses, usually shot over 100 clays with a guide.
