My husband and I throughly enjoyed the experience. Garry was very knowledgable, fun and welcoming. We were made to feel at ease from the moment we got there and we were given lots of encouragement throughout. I personally was impacted by the power of firing a live gun, it was quite an emotional experience believe it not! Thank you Garry for a great day!!

I brought my 12 year old son for his birthday with his dad. We had a great time, well worth the money. We did pay for extra ammo which I'm glad we did otherwise I think the experience would have been over too quickly. My son managed to handle all the guns despite being young. We will definitely do it again and I'm up for it too next time. A great experience had by all. Gary and Jessica were very friendly and made sure we were all safe. Well done guys Jack won't forget this day for a long time.

There were 10 of us who went for the Air Rifle and Pistol Shooting Experience in August 2015. We all had a great day and Garry really took the time to make sure we were all comfortable with the weapons whilst teaching us about the guns and how to shoot accurately. I would highly recommended Go Wild at the Warren and Garry and his team. I would also recommended spending a little extra upgrade to firing more ammunition - you won't regret it!

On arrival my girlfriend and I could tell that the day was going to be great. Garry and Jessica greeted used with a warm smile and an offer of tea or coffee to warm up. My girlfriend wasn't shooting but she was free to watch the proceedings in a covered cabin next to a lit BBQ. Garry's knowledge and love of shooting shone through, any questions he was happy to answer and the introduction to each gun made everyone feel confident and comfortable. He was a joy to be around and made my experience fantastic. I would advise shooting lovers, like myself, to spend the extra £19.99 - this means you get extra rounds and can have a try at all of the rifles/pistols. I paid the extra while there, which Garry was happy to facilitate. All in all a great birthday present. Can't wait to go again - the girlfriend has said next time she is definitely having a go!

The experience was a birthday treat for father and son. Both thoroughly enjoyed the morning and I would certainly recommend to others looking for an unusual gift which will stay in the memory for a long time. Garry was a charismatic, charming and engaging instructor who was knowledgable and encouraging. The venue offers a lot more than shooting and we will be back to try another activity, probably the Hunger Games experience.

Rifle and Pistol Shooting Experience Editor Review

Evie on the Road Film Strip 4






Following from the last experience I reviewed, there was a bit of a big leap between Pole Dancing and Shooting! That’s what’s great about Experience Days, so much variety. Heading up to Crowborough, Garry and I were on our way to meet another Garry from Corporate Buzz (two Garry’s with two R’s, who’d have thought?). This was Garry’s (Experience Days Garry) first experience with me, so he was pretty excited, and also keen to try out this activity to see if it’s something he’d like to do for his stag do.
Shooting Blog 4




The centre was supposed to have a balloon flying outside to guide us in, but unfortunately it had deflated meaning finding the centre wasn’t as easy as it could have been, but we still got there on time. Walking through a forest we met Garry (Corporate Buzz Garry) and two other gentleman participating in the experience. The target area looked great, there was a wide variety of things to aim at, from spinners to cans to circular targets, all set against a misty forest. The shooting area had a picnic area with these really cute carved wooden chairs, tables and a barbecue, then the actual shooting hut had benches, a table lined with guns of all shapes and sizes, and a roof overhead in case it rained (which it didn’t).
Shooting Blog 1






The gentlemen doing the experience with us went first, so we knew what would be happening. They’d clearly done some shooting before because their aim was very good, I was starting to think maybe this wouldn’t be so difficult! Between each gun, Garry would explain a bit about them, how to properly use them, and some history about what they’re used for. He was clearly very passionate about weapons and shooting techniques, which made what he was saying very interesting to listen to. Then it was our turn!

Garry (ED) and I alternated turns between shooting, first having a go on the Benjamin 22 sniper-like air rifle. Looking through a scope made aiming very easy, but the further away I pointed, the more I noticed how much my hands were shaking under the weight of the gun, which didn’t help the aiming. I did manage to hold it still for long enough to hit a couple of targets, but I can’t see myself becoming a professional sniper anytime soon! Up next was the James Bond handgun, the Walther PPK. I was pretty excited about this one because I could pretend to be a policeman and look really cool, same with the Walther PT85. Actually hitting targets was a lot harder with these guns because you don’t hold them up to your eye and aim, you just point and hope for the best, which I did, and I think I hit something, maybe once.
Shooting Blog 2






After the pistols it was time for the big guns (wahey). Machine guns! How exciting. We would be firing two, the Koch MP5 and the Koch G36, both could be either semi-automatic or fully automatic, and we would be trying both settings. If, like me, you’re unsure of the difference between an automatic and a semi-automatic weapon, basically automatic guns you just hold down the trigger and the bullets fire repeatedly until you let go, and semi-automatic you pull the trigger for each shot, but it reloads automatically. Slotting the magazine into place and switching the safety catch off, we were ready to fire. It’s tempting with machine guns to move the gun side to side, hoping to hit a wider range of targets, but actually this will make you miss more due to the kick back of the gun once you fire. Still, I did hit a few targets and it was so much fun! It’s slightly addictive, which could be a bit worrying if you think about it, but we were having a great time in a safe environment.

Once all the tin cans were thoroughly destroyed, we finished for the day. I can’t say thank you enough to Garry (CB) who invited us to come along, he was so accommodating and made the experience very interesting, making sure we got as much from it as we possibly could. Rifle and pistol shooting is an exciting activity that can be enjoyed by adults and children, as well as the perfect theme for a stag or hen do. I’d highly recommend it and I know Garry (ED) would too!

How long is the shooting experience please?

I'm searching to find a good shooting range experience for me and my husband. I just wanted to know for a beginner is this still good to come to, and as I'm fairly petite would I be able to handle the different guns used? Also how long will the session be, and how many different activities will we be experiencing? Do we bring our own food, or is there going to be food there?

This air rifle and pistol shooting experience is suitable for beginners. Your size should not affect your ability to shoot and an instructor will be with you at all times to assist.

Guns used are as follows: Benjamin 22; Sniper Rifle Walther PPK; James Bond's - Gun Walther PT85; Semi-Automatic Pistol Heckler & Koch MP5; Semi-Automatic G36; Automatic. 

You will need to bring your own packed lunches; there is a picnic area at the activity centre. 

How much time do you get shooting the guns on the Air Rifle and Pistol Experience in Sussex? I knows it says 2 hours but how much is it actually shooting? 

Unfortunately, we're unable to say definitively as everybody learns at their own individual pace, so the answer will never be exactly the same. 

Safety briefing is usually about 5 minutes.

The shooting instruction ordinarily lasts around 10 - 15 minutes, depending on the group. 

There will also be a brief guide on how to use each particular gun. The length varies depending on the learning speed of the group. 

The whole experience lasts approximately 2 hours total.
