'This is a cracking day out but be prepared to put some lead up there. Expect to shoot between 300 and 400 cartridges. The clays are relentless and superbly presented. The shoot is based in a quarry with a high cliff face as a unique feature. The terrain provides plenty of opportunity for simulation of high pheasant, fast partridge and grouse. John arranged a minder for my wife who was trying out her first days shooting after having lessons on the local clay ground. I thought that this was a perfect introduction to driven game and look forward to her company on live game days next season. In the mean time I am sure we will be back for further practice, experience but mainly because its just a really good day out with excellent hosts John and Emma Drummond.'
Would recommend this shoot to a friend: Yes

Mr John Bruijnooge in 2017:
Kingfisher shoot was amazing. I could have never thought simulated shoots could be so close to real shooting. I shot 425 times that day, very well and challenging clays presented, fast, high, low.. All of them. Very well organized and taken care of by the Drummonds. Thanks for a great day.

"Having shot with Kingfisher on several occasions , I can say that they lay on a superb day with very challenging targets and great hospitality . A real sharpener for the coming game season."
Tim Bush
"Just had the most fantastic day shooting amazing clays. They certainly make you 'raise your game'.
Headed up to Wensleydale to start the day with a cooked breakfast and to meet the rest of the team and draw pegs at the Bolton Arms in Redmire.
We then drove on to the ground for some fast, furious and challenging shooting set against the backdrop of stunning scenery. Today consisted of 5 drives, French Partridge, High pheasant, mixed pheasant, grouse and a duck flush.
This is definitely the place to sharpen those skills and get your pre -season eye in.
Although the emphasis is on fun and enjoyment, safety is paramount and after our initial briefing at breakfast John reiterated all the safety aspects to the guns.
The hosting, hospitality and friendliness are fantastic and every care is taken to ensure the guns have an enjoyable, exciting day. Thank you John, Emma, Bill and the rest of the team for ensuring every one had a marvellous time"

"Spent this Sunday shooting on Kingfisher Simulated Games shoot in North Yorkshire, in a team of 12 guns.
From arriving to departing the hospitality was excellent, The drives were laid out to offer a varied display of birds from Grouse to high and very high pheasants making the day equally enjoyable and testing for both the novice and experienced guns among us.
The setting high in the hills of Wensleydale only added to what was a very enjoyable days shooting.
I would highly recommend this shoot, and suggest you book a date before they all go. Well done to John and the team of Kingfisher Simulated Game and THANK YOU"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank John and the rest of The Kingfisher team for putting on a fantastic day yesterday, Having shot simulated clay days all over the north of England I can confirm that these days are professionally run with first class catering and a variety of simulated game targets to match or better the rest !! This place really takes simulated game shooting to a whole new level, The high pheasant and Grouse butt drives really stand out. I would not hesitate to recommend Kingfisher to anybody who wants the challenge of top class simulated game shooting in the summer at a fabulous location.
I for one will definitely be back !!!
Thanks Again.
Regards,"
