PROFILE
HOWNHALL SHOOTING SCHOOL

Woodland wonder


Nestled in a stunning woodland setting, Hownhall Shooting School prides itself on a friendly


atmosphere, offering expert tuition for all shooters with a focus on game


H


ownhall Shooting is based just north of
Midhurst, within the Cowdray estate, nestled
in a lovely woodland setting. The school’s ethos is
to provide an expert level of tuition based on
traditional standards and etiquette (but always
with a fun and friendly approach), this being in line
with our game shooting orientation.
We pride ourselves on our excellent
tuition, catering for the novice shooter right
through to the established, and specialising in
training for game shooting using clays. Ultimately,
Hownhall is a shooting school; thus its main focus
is on instruction.


Services
Our bespoke services include full corporate
shooting facilities, lessons with expert
instructors and have-a-go
sessions for complete
beginners. We also offer
superb simulated game
shooting throughout the year
at other locations around the
beautiful Cowdray estate.


Facilities
The school is proud to boast many driven targets,
in keeping with our game orientation – mid to high
tower targets combine with a mix of partridge
style shooting. In addition to this, we have three
grouse butts with a fully auto-flush system,
which can be used as a sharpener for
the relevant season. For the general
shooter, we boast 17 stands of
Sporting targets. Tea and coffee is
available free of charge, along with
our famous homemade flapjacks!

What makes us unique
The most obvious USP at Hownhall Shooting is
the incredibly friendly, Zen-like atmosphere. We
take a non-negotiable stand on ensuring all clients
are made to feel welcome. This has created a
dedicated following, and indeed constantly
attracts new shooters.
Part of the school is very woody, which enabled
us to create lifelike targets coming through or over
the trees, while the lower part of the school,
although surrounded by woodland, is open with
more sky, allowing us to put on bigger targets
more suited to this type of setting for a great mix.
The topography overall perfectly mimics a cosy
woodland-style shoot, with lots of little pockets
adding to its unique atmosphere.

Future plans
We plan to establish our catering facility in the
New Year, offering our clients a small selection of
fresh hot and cold produce. Local suppliers and
game-related meat products will form the basis of
the menu.
Also currently in planning stages is a list of
non-registered events including small bore and
side-by-side competitions. An air rifle course and
plinking range are also in the making.
In addition to the above, we plan to run a
small group of educational courses related to a
variety of aspects of shooting, ranging from gun
safety to homeloading, and black powder to game
day etiquette.
