The rifle and clay pigeon shooting were particularly enjoyable. The instructors were knowledgeable and ensured a safe environment, making it a great place for both beginners and experienced shooters. The facilities were top-notch, and the staff were friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. I highly recommend Courtlough Shooting Grounds to anyone looking for a fun and exciting shooting experience.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 December 2023

Can't remember his name, funky tattoos and piercings. Best training session I've had. DanielVisited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 23 February 2024
- Conor D2 contributionsHad a 'blast' in Courtlough!My family & I (2 teens & 2 adults) did a clay 25 session this w/e gone. We had Pierce as our instructor and it was HIM that made the whole experience so enjoyable. Not being ' shooting people' Pierce very quickly put us at our ease while all the time being ultra professional. The competitive juices began to flow quickly between the family and Pierce encouraged that banter. The hour flew but we are still buzzing from the event. We are raving to one and all about our time in Courtlough. Well done Pierce and Team. Hope to see ye soon. Conor & family, SkerriesVisited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 19 May 2024

My Sister and her husband brought 10 boys age 11-13 to Clonlough for Luke’s 13th birthday. From the beginning where we were met by lovely staff.. to the end when we had to drag the boys home it was the best day ever. When a little boy tells you he’s having the best 2 hours of his life.. and that was before he even took a shot you know it’s a success. Aine was lovely.. strict which meant she kept control. It was a freezing cold crisp day and the rain held off until the last 5 minutes . Can’t wait to head back during the Summer to try the rest of the activities.

Myself and my sister went clay shooting here for the first time and we had an absolute blast. Our instructor was Mickey and he was such a gentleman. Shooting over 65 years he has an abundance of skill and technique to help you along the way. He made us feel very at ease in a male dominated environment.I couldn't recommend this as a fun weekend activity or party activity more and Mickey for the win 🥳.

We had a great time. It was my son's birthday present and it was just the two of us. We were made to feel very welcome and the experience was amazing. The adrenaline flowed and of course my son beat me at clay shooting and the rifle range. I will definitely return. I help to run a youth group and it is something I would put on the to do list with them. The only thing...the time went too fast.

Had a great time. Instruction was excellent. First time my son had fired a gun and he enjoyed it that much he can't wait to go back again. Even with the rain the cover allowed us to remove our rain jackets and get comfortable.

Great experience. Alan the instructor was brilliant. Very patient and encouraging. It’s a popular spot and can see why. Restaurant on site with very friendly service and tasty food, bar, coffee, etc. Kids have to be 14 & our youngest just turned 14 so was delighted to do something so grown up with his big brothers. Will come back to try the rifle shooting. We did Clay pigeon this time.

Would u be able to get public transport out to ye?as I'm going to Dublin in August but will have no car

Hi there, there is a Dublin bus (101) which goes from Busaras and stops at Knockcross, which is at the end of our road. However it is then approximately a 15 minute walk up a country road to get to our location. The other alternatives are to get a taxi all the way here, hire a minibus (we recommend Dublin Airport Transfers), or to take a train to Balbriggan station, and then a taxi from there.

Hey guys, really interested in joining the Clay Pigeon Shooting and coming on a regular basis. The only hiccup: affordable means of transport from Dublin city centre. Any car pooling initiatives launched by members? Thanks in advance. Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
Unfortunately, we do not know of any carpooling initiatives amongst our members at present, but if any are suggested, we will be sure to let you know! In the meantime, perhaps you might have a few friends who would be interested in coming out to Courtlough with whom you could arrange a group visit? As well as our Clay Pigeon shooting and rifle range, we also have archery, paintball and our Outdoor Adventures obstacle course on offer!
Kind regards,
The Courtlough Team
