My other half wants to try clay pigeon shooting. I know very little about it, beyond having tagged along with a few mates ages ago. I've had a quick look online but the "experience day" type stuff is very clearly aimed at rich people with more money than sense, or corporate fun days.
What's the best option for a reasonably priced clay day with a spot of tuition? I have no equipment whatsoever.

As your home club is Bisley, why not shoot clays there?

Bisley shooting ground says you must have an SGC, which I don't, and your own guns and personal insurance, which again, I don't.
The NSC clay ground quotes £80 for an hour, which isn't bad for the two of us - I was wondering what other deals were out there.

Depends where abouts in London it needs to be 'near'
Dartford isn't too far from SE London:

Or head up to Sporting Targets in Risley Bedfordshire, it an absolutely superb shooting ground and they do tuition at sensible prices. You can also call in for a coffee/good natured banter/abuse or whatever on your way home.

Next time your at Bisley take a wander down to the OSM club house and have a word with Dan Archer I'm sure he can organise something for you.

I'd agree about asking Dan (if you don't go down the route I already suggested to you
) - he'll be great although prices are pretty much what you have already quoted but he'll be fun and probably better value for money!
