Dovey Valley Shooting Ground

Dovey Valley Shooting Ground is a target sports centre set in a wooded valley in the unspoilt landscape of North Wales, close to the border between Powys and Gwynedd. We are proud to be one of the top clay pigeon shooting venues in this part of the country, and we also offer archery activities.

Our site boasts a sporting layout with over 100 different stands and sporting targets of all kinds. In this way, we can cater to shooters of all abilities, from absolute beginners to professional level shots. On top of that, we offer down-the-line, skeet and automatic ball trap shooting, as well as putting on simulated game days which are the stuff of legend.

We understand that trying a new sport can be daunting, but you needn’t worry when you make the trip to Dovey Valley. You’ll be welcomed by our friendly team and introduced to the sport by our professional instructors. All the equipment is included in both clay shooting and archery activities.

We are particularly adept at hosting groups, whether small families or large corporate parties. Once again, it doesn’t matter if the group includes novices, we will get everyone shooting together and enjoying these traditional countryside pursuits.

Dovey Valley Shooting Ground is a unique place. Nestled in a valley in the Powys landscape outside Machynlleth it’s possibly the most beautiful place to take part in clay pigeon shooting in the country.

We welcome everyone, from those who’ve never held a shotgun in their hands to veteran shooters. Our large site boasts varied layouts, making shooting disciplines of all kinds an option. We have a team of qualified, experienced instructors who can help you take the next step in your clay shooting journey, whether it’s the first or the 5 hundredth.

The activities we offer include have-a-go sessions, lessons (on a one-to-one or two-to-one basis) - including the option to train with an Olympic instructor - group shoots and combination activities. Adults and young shots are welcome, as are parties of all kinds. We put on simulated game days too, in which we recreate the excitement of the shooting season. And, as if that wasn’t enough, we also have an archery range.

If you’re looking for a fantastic place to enjoy clay pigeon shooting - or to enjoy a stag, hen, birthday or staff party - visit us at Dovey Valley.

At Dovey Valley Shooting Ground, target sports are the order of the day. One of our most popular, especially among families and groups of children, is Archery.

Primarily a clay pigeon shooting venue, Dovey Valley is a secluded paradise in the landscape of Powys - just shy of the limits of the Snowdonia National Park and near the town of Machynlleth. It’s an ideal place to have a go at archery. The peace and quiet are perfect for calming the mind and focusing the aim, while the scenery is enough to inspire real acts of heroism.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a bow and arrows before, we welcome archers of all levels. We have a team of instructors who will help you get the hang of using the equipment and - hopefully - hitting the bullseye in no time! Our sessions last an hour, which is the perfect length for an introduction to this ancient pastime.

Groups are very welcome at the shooting ground. We regularly host stag and hen parties, birthday celebrations and corporate events. Both archery and clay pigeon shooting are excellent activities for team building activities and we can put on catering as well to make it a complete experience.
