GUN OF THE MONTH – DECEMBER 2018 ----------------- FAUSTI XF4 ----------------- (£3870)... Fausti are a family-owned Italian firearms producer (much like their giant equivalent Beretta), and the company is run by the three daughters of the original founder. Fausti have always had a strong reputation for producing beautiful, well-engineered, reliable and relatively affordable game guns. More recently however, they have made a significant stride into the clay shooting market in the form of the XF4 Sporter. This is an extremely well-thought-out gun, and has begun to achieve prominence in the world of sporting clays very quickly. The gun features a round-bodied action with an overall black finish, although the lettering is available in gold, platinum or black. The attractive stock has a pistol grip and adjustable comb; length of pull is 14 ¾” as standard but this can be altered when the gun is ordered. The forend is rounded with a beavertail grip. The barrels feature a tapered rib and a total of six extended multi-chokes are included. The gun is well balanced, and lock up is solid. The XF4 is definitely a performer; so much so that one of our instructors has already purchased one. The gold-text version is available in our gunroom now, and other models can be ordered if required. (Demonstrations are available but must be booked in advance.) To see this gun or any others we have in stock, come and visit our gun room and we will be happy to find a gun to suit your needs.

Time for a lesson at Braidwood!

We will remember them. Bisley at Braidwood was one of 150 beacons tonight to remember the end of WW1 100 years ago.

Well done to everyone who came out today to a poignant club shoot where we also remembered the fallen on the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War One. We thank you for your respect as we honoured their memory. The club shoot itself proved challenging and many felt today's shoot was a particularly good layout. Jed Burn took the overall high gun on 96/100 - a great score! The other positions were highly contested with three people taking joint victories in both Class A and Unclassified divisions - hot competition and excellent shooting! Well done to all our class winners and we look forward to welcoming many of you to the Christmas Club Shoot on 16th December (pre-booking essential).

SUNDAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2018 ~ This Sunday our hours will be altered slightly and shooting will not begin until 11:15 am as a mark of respect and to observe the 2 minute silence in honour of the 100th Armistice day. ~ Club shoot and pay and play will run as normal after this. ... ~

GUN OF THE MONTH -- AYA No.2 -- ------------------------------ £1,200 (second hand)
... Aguiire Y Aranzabal (AYA) guns have been in production since 1915, and have been built to a standard modelled on some of the best London guns, and in some cases with even better reliability. The respective models are based on a simple numerical system – the No.1 is the “best” gun – top of the range; with the No.2 being essentially a slightly less expensive version of the same gun. The No.3 is a boxlock non-ejector, and the No.4 is as per the No.3 but with ejectors fitted. Other clones of British guns exist in the range, such as the “XXV”, a direct copy of the Churchill Model 25; but the most famous in the line up are undoubtedly the No.4 and the No.2.
The No.2 is the ultimate “affordable” sidelock double-gun, coming in brand new at £7000. Second-hand No.2’s make for even better bargains, ranging in price from £1000-£3000. (No.4’s are a steal at £300-£700 in 12G, but fetch a higher asking price in other calibres.) The No.2 features a straight Grade 2 walnut stock and double triggers, automatic safety, English scroll engraving, and 28” barrels with a concave rib, in the style of the Holland and Holland Royal. The gun weighs in at approximately 6 ¾ lbs. Tens of thousands have been sold across the UK and America; the gun remaining popular as it offers superb handling and balance. The example in our gun room has a 14 1/8” length of pull. If you’re looking at a gun to see you through the coming game season (and many beyond), this could be what you’re looking for. To see this gun or any others we have in stock, come and visit our gun room and we will be happy to find a gun to suit your needs. AYA AGUIRRE Y ARANZABAL FINE GUNS

We came out to Bisley at Braidwood this afternoon for a novice clay pigeon experience. Our Instructor, Arthur, was incredibly patient, making quiet, focused suggestions to my brother and I, enabling us to hit the majority of clays that were presented!! To say we are both competitive is a massive understatement, and he both encouraged and facilitated our little competition whilst keeping it light and enjoyable, what a star!

We were accompanied by my sister in law and nephews, the youngest one, requiring the use of a wheelchair. I was extremely pleasantly surprised to find that this facility is very wheelchair friendly, with the staff helping if required, in a relaxed and downplayed manner. A pleasant and welcome change from the norm.

All in all, a fantastic afternoons experience, which we are already planning to repeat in the imminent future (watch out Arthur!) and one I can thoroughly recommend. Oh, yes, and the coffee's pretty darn good too!

We bought our 10 year old son a voucher for 25 clays. The voucher came beautifully presented. The day itself was wonderful. The staff were attentive, informative and fun (Iain in particular was great). Our son had never shot before, but that didn’t matter. He had a marvellous time. We’ll be back. Would whole heartedly recommend.

Travelled there alone and was yet again greeted warmly and made very welcome. Vast array of targets to choose from, and although the ground was busy, I never had to wait for a stand. Thanks to all the staff. I always recommend this place and will continue to do so 👍

There is a lovely welcoming friendly atmosphere. The staff are so helpful and easy to talk to they cant do enough for you. The food is amazing. Love the facilities available. You can make a full day out of it now as me and my friends and family do. A zeroing session in the 100mtr tunnel range. Followed by some nice lunch or brunch. Then a round of clays. Topped off with some retail therapy or a new gun. Perfect. Only problem is I can't visit more often lol.

Pity it’s a 2hr+ drive from Ayr...but worth the trek. Superb and very testing clays.

My kids had their first lesson of clay shooting with Iain Furness. Iain was an excellent instructor and guided my kids so well that they enjoyed the lesson so much. The following day we had another instructor ( forgot his name) for rifle shooting and kids really enjoyed it too. However, they preferred the clay shooting. Thanks Jenna, Iain and he other instructor for making my kids time at Bisley so memorable.

Me and a friend stayed in Edinburgh for a long weekend , bought shotguns with us from Essex and came shooting for the weekend - I've shot all over the uk and this has to be one of the best grounds I have shot , well presented targets, clean ground, very well maintained and set up, the staff are very helpful - will be back again soon !!!

Just had a fantastic day at the ground, where me, my wife Elaine and my 3 year old son was made to feel very welcome. All the staff and our tutor Struan made this part of our holiday very memorable. Thank you very much guys we loved our clay shooting experience.

Ian was a tremendous instructor and it was a excellent experience I cannot wait to have again. I will be recommending Bisley and Ian's tutorship to all who will listen! All the other staff were polite, welcoming and throughly professional, from a informative receptionist to a delicious chef.



five star review for a five star experience !

I couldn't recommend Ian more highly as an instructor, a truly wonderful day. We were beginners and the word of the day is "buzzing" from our experience. The all inclusive Ladies Day afternoon tea was delicious and the staff were very friendly. We will be back soon

Great place with lovely staff! Instructors have an amazing knowledge and will give good tips how to shoot! Even if you are there just for fun as a beginner and watching, you'll still enjoy the experience!

Fantastic ground, so helpful and friendly and lovely food, thanks again! Well worth the long trip from Argyll �x

First time shooting. Loved the whole experience. Highly recommend �

Fantastic experience, first time and loved it. Amazing place, fantastic instructors and staff!

Brilliant afternoon Birthday Party for my son. He and his pals (as well as me!) had a fabulous time on the new air rifle range with brilliant instruction followed by a great birthday tea and cake. Highly recommended.

Attended the ladies day today at Bisley. Great fun with a lovely group of ladies and a superb instructor.

Nothing too serious & plenty laughs. Finished the day off with afternoon tea in the club room. Will definitely be back & booked a lesson before I left!

Attended Ladies Day at Bisley's today and as a group had a complete ball. Even though we as a group we were complete novices the instructor kept us on the right track to hit a few clays. After the shooting our group were treated to afternoon tea which was delicious. Would definitely recommend attending this event and will be back

Absolutely loved the whole experience, from the friendly café staff to the really friendly and helpful instructor Ian. It was my first time shooting clays and my partner's first time shooting a gun. Ian put us at ease with clear simple instructions and tips. I cannot complain about anything (except perhaps the weather!) We will be back!
