There has been clay ground at this site since 1975, from the early days of the oil industry in Aberdeen. Originally called “The Golden Rock” gun club, with two hand-operated traps and an offshore supplied steel container for a clubhouse, Seal’s Cove Shooting Ground has grown into a fully automated fifty-plus trap layout. The site has a fully mature woodland setting which provides excellent shelter from the wild north sea and we can shoot pretty much fifty-two weeks of the year. A unique cliff-top location five miles from Aberdeen city center. The clay ground has a variety of testing targets both for experienced shots and beginners alike, there are CPSA level one accredited instructors to provide tuition and as a commercial shooting ground, it is open to anyone. We have a Norwegian-sourced log cabin which we use as our clubhouse & we opened a new purpose-built gun shop on site in 2015, we stock a large range of clay & game guns new and pre-owned. The ground main dealers for Browning, Miroku Beretta, and Chapuis guns.
Meet at 9.30am for tea & coffee to go through a safety briefing and meet the instructors.
10 am split into two groups and head out to shoot clays with different traps over 2 hours.
12pm head back to the cabin and grab a hot drink & finish off the day with scorecards.
Lunch can be organised in the Whatsapp group before the event, this would need to take place elsewhere as the shooting ground doesn’t have facilities.
