We did the Archery and Clay Pidgeon Shooting at the end of November. Matt was a brilliant instructor, we really enjoyed both activities, and will definitely go back when we are in skye.

We had a great time here with clay shooting and archery. Melanie was a fantastic instructor when we were shooting, and we both managed to hit some clays! We had Willow helping us with archery which was really good fun as well, even though the weather was a bit miserable. We'll definitely come back when we visit Skye in the future.

Mat is a great instructor, great.
We had an amazing time with lots of fun during our session with Matt. All first time shooters, but all managed to shoot at least one clay. But even if this would not have been the case, it would have been an amazing experience! Thank you again Matt!

Highly recommend Matt and A.C.E. Had a great time shooting moving targets for the first time. We have no previous experience but with Matt's excellent guidance we were able to learn very fast and successfully shoot those clay plates right out of the sky. Our 13 year olds and our 17 year old loved it and really enjoyed listening to Matt and following his direction as well as safety guidelines. Matt is not only professional but also VERY FUNNY! Thanks from "carrot fingers" and family..

Had a really fun time doing archery. Neither me nor my partner had ever tried it before. The instructor was really friendly and super knowledgeable about it. He gave us so much information to improve our shots over the session. We played some fun games and had a little competition as well. Would highly recommend!

My partner and I had a shooting session with Melanie this week and it was superb. Melanie made the session good fun and a laugh while keeping it perfectly safe and informative as well as a little bit of healthy competition between us! We highly recommend a shooting session with her while you're visiting Skye!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Matt. He made the 3 of us welcome, very informative and a bit of competition thrown in too. Highly recommended if you're on the island, we will definitely be back. Don't be scared if it's your first time, I'd never even touched a rifle before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Matt 👍

What a great experience! Me and my family have tried archery on our own in a very amateur way and it always felt like guesswork where we would hit the mark. Our experience with ACE was very interactive but also educational. Not everyone will become an expert marksman but some folks will see a clear improvement in their aiming/shooting after instruction from ACE. And they make it fun with different games/goals. Could have stayed there all day!
