STAFF REVIEW: MULTI SHOOTING EXPERIENCE IN EAST SUSSEX

JUL 10, 2018
CATEGORY: STAFF REVIEWS
WRITTEN BY: Willow Drewett

Having never participated in an archery or shooting experience before, I was particularly intrigued when we had the opportunity to have a shot at it down in Hailsham, East Sussex! Many of my friends and family have encountered archery and shooting before, and whether professionally or as a beginner, all seem to have had a great time.

The drive down to Amazon Events, the outdoors organisation holding today's experience, was no more than 45 minutes from our Brighton office. As we arrived, we were pleasantly greeted by the Amazon Events team who pointed us in the right direction towards the archery and shooting range, (the brightly coloured targets weren’t hard to miss mind!).

Nick was our fabulous marshal for the day. He was great fun and helped us all get the most out of our experience. Once we were all set up with our bows and arrows, Nick went through the simple instructions and safety brief before assigning us with a variety of challenges; most individual, some as a pair and a few as a group (we won the group challenge – Team Vs Marshall, Woo!). There are 12 targets available which is great for large parties!

The air rifle shooting range was positioned right next door to the archery site, so we were quick to shoot on over and get started. I really enjoyed this activity - it was a brand-new experience which I had never considered yet surprisingly got the hang of really quickly and loved every minute!

To begin with, Nick sorted us out with our guns (likewise with the bows, there are some left-handed guns available!). To ensure we all held and loaded the guns cautiously, we were given a safety consultation and careful instructions on how to position our guns and how to use the scopes – that little magnifier to help you aim. The session setup allowed each participant room to either sit, lay or lean, depending on what was most comfortable for you.

There were plenty of targets to aim for; miniature targets, metal spinning targets and my favourites - the sitting duck targets! It was great fun and really exposed our competitive nature as we all strived to hit our targets down first.

After a very animated hour of archery and air rifle shooting we all cooled down with a soft drink back at Amazon Events' seated refreshment area. We had a great time and would highly recommend this experience!

Mindful Painting Experience

What an amazing day! I had the most peaceful and relaxing time during this experience. Before the painting began we all introduced ourselves, we then took part in a short meditation session which was very calm and relaxing. For this session we need to bring a picture that we would like to paint, I chose a imagine of me wearing my traditional clothing. Our phones were plugged into a projector, this projected the image onto the canvas, we trances the outline of our picture then started painting. I am very happy with my painting and would love to go again. read more >

Amazing Afternoon and Amazing Company!

This class was a truly amazing way to unwind and tap into your creativity. The smartphone projections (which you trace your own personal image from) make it so that anybody of any ability can participate to create something they're proud of - no experience necessary! The mindful meditations and music made the experience calming and interactive, whilst our wonderful teacher Georgie was on hand to assist with any questions we had. This would make a thoughtful gift for someone special and I know I'll be returning to try out another class soon. read more >

Fantastic way to see London

My husband and I decided to go on this tour as we're both HP fans and thought it would be a great way to spend an afternoon in the city! The tour is interactive and interesting, our guide Tom was great fun and you could really tell he enjoyed his job. Even if you're not massive into Harry Potter this is a fantastic way to see London as you are taken around key landmarks by your knowledgeable guide. The cruise down the Thames meant we got to see marvellous views of Big Ben and more, so I really can't recommend this enough. read more >

Harry Potter Tour.

I had an amazing time on this Harry Potter Tour And Thames Boat Ride. This also felt like a little tour of London, I got to see areas of London that i usually would not get a chance to see. Our tour guide Tom was every enthusiastic and welcoming. This was no ordinary tour as he also quizzed us on Harry Potter facts. On arrival, we were told that we will each be put in a "house". I was in Gryffindor, to get the most points for your house you had to answer the questions correctly. The Thames boat ride was relaxing, we got to see some of London's main attractions like London eye. Overall the tour was very enjoyable, this is the perfect gift for any Harry Potter fan. read more >
