P.G – 5 stars – “Have shot at various centres local to Aviemore and Dalraddy Estate was my favourite to date. My partner had not shot before. I had but no expert by any means and had been years since I had shot. Davie was our instructor. He was a real gentleman. Patient knowledgeable and with a really kind manner. His humour made up for our many misses!! We had a great time and the 50 shots for £78 was great value. I highly recommend the Estate for anyone wanting to shoot when in the area and we would definitely visit again. Thanks Davie”
