I will be in London, UK for 3 days in May.
I have time to attend a shooting school on Sat. the 20th.
Anyone have any opinions about which place provides a better experience?
EJ Churchill
Holland and Holland
West London Shooting School
Any POSITIVE thoughts would be welcome.
I wish to train for driven birds, not SC competitions.
Out there doing it best I can.

I have heard the H&H school is fantastic! I have not been, but the source who has passed on, was very picky, where things must be perfect or it a bust

I have been to West London Shooting school and strongly recommend it. I had a fitting performed there.
Last I was aware their driven options include high flyers and grouse simulations.

I actually was randomly taken to the H&H grounds when I was a teenager. In fact, I believe it was the first time I shot. Fantastic facility, we mainly shot sporting clays, but at the end we shot clays from the ground released from high towers. Very challenging, but, like I said, I had never shot before.

West London, IMO. Try to schedule Alan Rose, if he is not retired by now. WLSS is easy to get to and close to London city center, near Heathrow.

I'll add to my initial recommendation and second the recommendation of Mr.Rose.
If you are not bringing your own gun it is even possible to access West London S S from the underground (West Ruislip if I recall).

I've shot at the H&H grounds with instructor Nathan Dudley. Its about 45 minutes on the tube to Northwood and then a short cab ride from the station there to the facility. Its a fantastic place and Nathan is a very nice guy and good instructor.
While in London, H&H stored my guns and even transported them to their grounds for me.
They really made it easy for me.
Hope this helps and enjoy your time in the UK.

One thing that occurs to me is that given that most of the options, frankly, are probably top notch, what kind of style of shooting are you looking on getting instruction in (Churchill, Stanbury, etc.)? It might pay to contact the schools and find out what they emphasize and to what extent they work on your particular style. I'd guess Churchill emphasizes Churchill and my recollection was WLSS focused on Stanbury but was adaptable.
Just a thought.

Go to the West London Shooting School and do the Ripon Challenge.
Then report back on your success.

WLSS it is.
My SIL will take instruction with me, as well as learning to "stuff".
Details are somewhat "sketchy" as of yet, but I have noticed that WLSS is expanding their web marketing presence, and that may explain current communication voids.
I could be induced to visit gun rooms, outfitters, or perhaps enjoy cocktails with any members located in London at that time.
Out there doing it best I can.
