Axe Throwing Vouchers

Giving a Gift Voucher

We believe that The Big Shoot clay pigeon shooting gift vouchers are the perfect gift for every occasion. With thousands of satisfied customers, we decided to start asking what they felt about the experience of either buying a gift voucher or receiving one- the results prove that nobody was left disappointed! We asked recent online buyer Samantha Avis, 32, about the process of buying the ultimate present.

"Whenever my dad's birthday approaches, it gets incredibly hard to think of a present to get him. He's at the age where the only presents he gets are aftershave and slippers, but I wanted to break that trend and get him something he'd remember, not just hoard in the attic."

"When searching for presents I came across The Big Shoot. I know he's had a great time at shooting ranges before, he was at one a few years ago as part of my brother's stag weekend, so I knew it would be a no brainer to send him back. He definitely wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity to return!"

"When I got to the website, my first idea was to look for shooting ranges and advance book a day and time for him to go. But that plan went out of the window straight away when I saw there was a link to buy a gift voucher on the homepage. A gift voucher would then allow him to choose his own date, time and even location because The Big Shoot has sites all over the country."

"I decided to treat him to a £100 gift voucher. I wasn't too sure about the prices and different offers as I've never been shooting before so I called up The Big Shoot and spoke to a lively man called Marcus, who helped make sure I was getting my money's worth with the booking. Although he offered to complete my transaction over the phone, I wanted to check out the different gift wrapping options for myself before I bought anything. The simple navigation of the website means it was just seconds before I was able to purchase one- with other websites you have to go through so many unnecessary stages before you can actually buy the thing you want!"

"I decided to opt for the Gift Wallet. What really swung it for me was the fact that although the inner voucher would be gift wrapped, it would be delivered in a blank envelope so the surprise wouldn't be spoiled. The quick delivery meant it arrived in just a few days, in plenty of time for his birthday."

"I couldn't wait to see my dad's face when he opened the wallet and saw the present for himself- and when he finally received it, it didn't disappoint. I'll definitely be buying from The Big Shoot again- it was incredibly quick and simple to purchase a voucher, plus he loved the present too!"

Receiving A Gift Voucher

So you've read about what its like to buy one of our awesome clay pigeon shooting gift vouchers. But what is it like to be the one opening the envelope to receive it as a surprise? We asked Steven Avis, 57, about the gift voucher he received from his daughter.

"When you get to my age, you don't really like celebrating birthdays. You end up feeling like you're just counting down the years until you finally get that pension! Plus, as much as I love my family, they're pretty much clueless on how to buy for a 57 year old. I just wake up every birthday morning to find I've been given slippers, socks and aftershave- I would give everything for a genuine surprise, instead of just another piece of clutter."

"I was expecting a similar present from my daughter Samantha. Last Christmas she bought me socks and a box of sweets- I'm grateful, but you can't say these aren't boring presents. I probably have enough socks now that I can wear a completely different pair every day of the year! Instead, she passed me a white envelope and I didn't know what to expect; I was just happy you couldn't fit any socks inside it."

"To my surprise, when I opened the envelope there was a white and gold wallet- I was completely stumped. When I opened it up, I found a Big Shoot gift voucher worth GBP100. I went shooting a couple of years back as part of my eldest son's stag weekend and I completely loved it, so I couldn't have been any happier knowing I was going to return. This was the sort of present I've been waiting for."

"The voucher was redeemable at all their sites across the UK, so I decided to go back to the shooting range in Penrith, which I visited as part of the stag weekend. I called The Big Shoot in advance to book a place- after securing my spot, they sent me all the details in an email. Confirmation of what I booked and the maps and directions just in case I didn't remember where it was. It couldn't have been easier and it only took a few minutes!"
