 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today we had a fantastic day at Safe and Sound Shooting. Set in an idyllic location only 15 minutes drive from Bristol, Andy made us all feel welcome and at ease. We were a group of 9 which included people ranging in ages from my mother and father in law in their 80’s to the younger members of our party in their 20’s.
Of our group only one of us had been shooting before but Andy was very patient with us all and it wasn’t long before he had us all successfully hitting the clay pigeons!
We booked it for my daughter’s 30th birthday and if you’re looking for something different for a birthday party I thoroughly recommend Andy and Safe and Sound for a brilliant day out!
