Shooting Range in Northern Ireland?

This will probably sound strange and odd... Me and the missus want to try something different this weekend so we're planning to go stay in a hotel for the weekend while the wee one is getting minded. For something different we thought it would be fun to try going to a shooting range.
Does this seem odd? Do couples do this type of thing or am I just being strange? We wanted to try it for someone different.
My question is, where (if any) are there any ranges/clay shooting places close to Belfast?
Thanks

Not strange at all, did it years ago. Try Hollow farm shooting centre, 35 Drumhirk Road

Try the Falls Road or Sandy Row:rotfl:
Only joking and not a strange thing indeed for couples, took the OH a few years ago to a day out at a clay pigeon club for shooting, I loved it, she hated it:( and hated the bruises on her shoulder for several days afterwards too:(
If going clay shooting remember a shotgun has quiet a kick to it, if your partner is small in stature and frame this may put her off enjoying the experience.
Have a look at https://www.foymorelodge.com/ seem good fun day out:TI am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:0 -

Foymore lodge is very well run and its just outside Portadown you could stay at Seagoe Hotel which isn't too far away or I'm sure Derek (Foymore lodge) could advise.0 -
Sorry only getting back to replying now, great thanks for the suggestions, glad it's not a strange request as I remmember doing it once when I was about 16-17 and enjoyed it! Partner is quite small so that might be abit of a downside... I have to give those places a call see what the prices are etc...
What is that hotel like Choco? Anything else nearby that's interesting to do?
Thanks!0 -

Hotel is lovely although I have never stayed there. I did a wedding last week in it. You also have Peatlands Park, The Agory (National Trust) not to far away and well worth a visit to both.
Depending when you are thing of going. There is a large festival on in Portadown on 18th September - Country Comes To Town. However, if you contact Dereck @ Foymore I have no doubt he will put you in right direction.0 -

Thanks, appreciate it. I'll give him a call this afternoon.
