In our experience Hen Parties are the most
enjoyable, fun filled and rewarding events that we run. Unlike
the macho men, the ladies are often worried about Shooting
in general, let alone holding and firing a Shotgun. At the
bottom of this page we have listed the most frequently asked
questions and answered them with how we operate at Lee Leisure.
From an instructors point of view there can be no better
reward than to have a lady who starts the day shaking, end
up asking you to recommend her to a Shooting ground near
her home town, so she can take the sport up as a hobby.
The instructors at Lee Leisure treat each person as an individual,
they will take as much time and patience as required relaxing
you and coaching you to hit the targets consistently. They
also have a great sense of humour and will hopefully get
you laughing whilst joining in with the banter.
How the day is run
Bookings can be taken for full or half days, most Hen
parties are booked for a half-day, either morning or afternoon
11am to approx 1.30pm and 1.30pm to approx 4pm. Start and
finish times can be altered to fit in with your days schedule,
each person attending can expect to Shoot a minimum of
50 targets with all the equipment and instructors included
in the price.
The day starts with a practice session; each group is
divided into teams of no more than 6 people and allocated
an instructor. Your instructor will coach you through a
series of different targets spending as much time as necessary
with each person, tea and coffee are available throughout
on a help yourself basis. Once everybody is happy and confident
with what they are doing we will start a competition for
the whole group. Trophies and prizes can be purchased separately
at a very reasonable price. The presentation at the end
gives you the ideal opportunity to get the perfect picture
to remember the day.
On request but at no extra charge digital photographs
can be taken throughout the day, and a CD posted in time
for the wedding reception.
Night Clubs
Our Shooting ground is situated between Milton Keynes
and Luton, both of which have some excellent nightlife,
and accommodation.
We are approximately 45 minutes from London City Centre
Most frequently asked questions
Is it going to hurt me? My friend did it and got a bruise
on her shoulder.
There are 4 main reasons why a Shotgun will bruise you
1. The gun has not been fitted to you.
2. You have not been shown how to hold it correctly.
3. The cartridges being used are too powerful for a novice
4.Your instructor has not been professionally trained.
At Lee Leisure Entertainment it is standard procedure
for all the instructors to professionally select the guns
used for each individual. The client is shown the correct
way to hold the gun and the sight picture needed to break
the target. Low recoil cartridges are used for all participants,
and gel pads can be issued to persons of petite stature
ensuring a comfortable experience.
What about the noise?
Every person taking part will have to wear ear defenders;
this is compulsory so a variety of ear protection is supplied.
Electronic ear defenders are often offered as a substitute
to the client when it is their turn to shoot; this enables
the client and the coach to speak to each other in private
without raising their voices.
What should I wear?
Sensible clothing according to the weather, if you are
coming to our Shooting ground you will not have to wear
Wellingtons or boots however it is not advisable to wear
high heels.
Try and avoid wearing a Bra with a metal clasp near the shoulder pocket.
Shooting jackets will be supplied.
I don’t think I will do very well. Will I
hit anything?
We have never had a person leave us without hitting targets,
if you have tried it before and hit nothing; it was probably
your teacher’s fault and not yours. At Lee Leisure
Entertainment we pride ourselves on good professional instruction
that is second to none, especially with novice Shooters.
We now offer a money back guarantee to all our clients.
I wear Glasses will this handicap me?
This is not normally a problem; even so we have many
ways of compensating in order that clients may see the
correct sight picture.
Master eyes are checked before any Shooting starts to give each person an
equal chance to do well
Legal requirements
At Lee Leisure Entertainment you do
not have to be a Shotgun certificate holder to shoot
at our ground, we hold a police permission to allow us
to teach novice shooters. However we cannot allow anyone
to shoot who has consumed alcohol or drugs prior to the
event or is prohibited by law from holding a firearm.
We would ask that the organiser makes this clear to all
persons attending.
If you have any questions or queries do not hesitate
to contact
Pete or Jacquie, they are always keen to make your day
with us a special one.
