Clay Pigeon Shooting

The clay shoot is set as an English sporting layout with clays launched in a variety of presentations simulating the flight of various different birds such as driven grouse, settling pigeon, springing teal, high pheasant etc.. We use 12 and 20 bore over and under shotguns and each gun can be adapted to fit each participant. Our professional shooting instructors will give each guest in-depth tuition to ensure they can achieve a high level of satisfaction from this exciting and fulfilling sport. Top

 

 

Simulated Clay Pigeon Shooting (Laser Clays)

Very realistic simulated clay shooting using 5 standard over and under shotguns which have been deactivated and fitted with high tech electronics. The guns fire pulses (2 per loading) of infra red light at reflective clays (launched from a normal clay trap) and electronics in each gun transmits hits (and misses!) to a large scoreboard. The system is set up in a similar manner to a “live” shoot with various bird presentations.

Fully staffed by a professional shooting instructor and an experienced trapper participants will receive tuition in gun handling and safety whilst learning the very satisfying and competitive sport of clay shooting. The system has the advantage that it does not need a designated shooting ground and can be carried out in complete safety on the lawns at most venues. Top

 
 

Aerial Target Shooting:

This event is a modified clay shoot with guests shooting high speed radio controlled aircraft instead of clays!
(although we start instruction on clays). This unlikely scenario is a unique concept and, quite frankly, amazing. The radio controlled target aircraft (we bring up to 15) are designed to be shot down but usually fly with various bits missing for a while and this adds to the excitement and competitive atmosphere.

Pyrotechnic flash flares are fitted to the aircraft to indicate hits plus electronically operated smoke canisters can be fitted to provide the classic trail when the aircraft is shot down. The aerial targets are flown by the ex British flying model champion who can adjust the flight path and presentation of the aircraft to suit the ability of each shooter.

Aerial Target Laser Option:

As some venues cannot host conventional clay shooting (live), we have radio controlled helicopters which have infra red retro reflective targets fitted allowing us to use them with our Laser Clay system. This is a spectacular event with two to five shooting teams competing to register hits on the opposing teams aircraft. Top

 

 

Target Archery

We use top quality competition standard recurve bows which, although looking similar to long bows, are in fact radically different being fitted with sights.

We carry a large selection of bows with various draw weights (power) to ensure our professional instructor can exactly match a bow to each participant.

Shooting is usually started at 15 metres and increased as clients become more proficient. We will also provide cross bows if required. After full instruction and practice we hold a competition. Top

 

 

Falconry

This ancient and noble sport is both thrilling and fascinating. Our senior falconers each have more than 25 years experience of handling and flying these majestic birds. Their love of falconry and dedication to conserving wildlife have given them an unrivalled depth of knowledge, and they are always happy to answer questions and discuss matters involving the countryside and its wildlife.

Static display & hands on flying

A selection of birds will be on display including hawks, falcons, barn owls, eagle owls, red tails, buzzards, kestrels and other birds of prey. The falconer will explain the training and methods of hunting with various breeds. Guests will be provided with all the necessary equipment (gauntlets, jessies etc.) and trained hawks. They will be taken through various areas available at the venue to fly the birds and experience the thrill of controlling these magnificent creatures.

Flying display

Our falconer will give a brief talk on the history of falconry and explain the techniques involved in displaying falcons in an aerial display. The party will see the bird circling above, checking out the thermals and mapping its approach before diving at speeds reaching over 100 mph towards the lure. Guests will be involved in every stage, with volunteers asked to help with the display and the falcon being flown close enough to touch. A truly magnificent and unforgettable experience. Top

 

Gun & Working Dog Trials

This is seriously good fun and features a selection of traditional working dogs such as pointers, retrievers, terriers, spaniels etc.. Guests will be taught how to control the dogs through various agility tests reflecting each breeds particular skills. These include obstacle courses, herding, calls and whistle signals. An experienced dog handler will explain the history behind the breed and instruct guests on all aspects of dog handling.

In addition, guests will experience a series of hilarious obstacle course races (with betting?) using our very short sighted ferrets! Top

 

Apache 2 Seater Off Road Racers:

These very fast twin seater off road racers have a Honda VFR 750cc, V4 engine delivering 110bhp through a 6 speed sequential gearbox. Unlike Pilot Buggies, they have conventional steering and standard foot controls. A roll cage and four point harness are also incorporated.

Enjoy outrageous over-steer and 360 degree spins in these awesome vehicles around a large coned course. An experienced instructor travels in the passenger seat to give an insight into the techniques required to get the best out of these machines on a fast and challenging circuit. Top

 
 

Pilot Buggies:

These are one of the most popular off road all terrain vehicles and are exciting to drive. These single seater racers, fitted with balloon tyres are capable of 70 mph. All controls are hand operated on the aircraft style (hence the name) steering wheel and a full roll cage and safety harnesses are additional safety features. We design a large challenging circuit using cones and flag markers plus a "pits" area. The guests compete against the clock and not each other.

A full briefing and introduction to the machine is given by our experienced instructors before a practice session and competition is carried out. If time permits, a fun team relay will be run. Top

 

 

"Sheep" Dog Trails

This is seriously good fun and mimics the very popular sport of sheep dog trials where trained dogs herd sheep around an obstacle course of gates, pens, etc. the only difference is that we use Geese!

A skilled shepherd will teach participants simple whistle commands to allow them to control the trained dogs in this hilarious and unique event. This activity is very suitable for a team challenge scenario. Top

 

Classic Team Challenge

Eventive has developed a series of Army Officer training style team building command tasks for corporate activity days. Team building takes many guises and in our experience, participants still want to have fun although the overriding theme is to get them working together and appreciating each others strengths and development needs.

Working with instructors from Sandhurst Military Academy we believe that we have devised modifications to the tasks to make them much less physical and a more fun brain teasing activity.

The tasks have been specifically designed to take the same time and hence are ideal for structured days. Ideal team size is 6 – 8 but can handle up to 10 per activity, with the ideal timing being 25 minutes per task.

Each task will be staffed by an experienced instructor who will assess their performance and mark them for comparison with other teams if required. An experienced co-ordinator will give a light hearted, but to the point, de-brief immediately after the event. Should your client require a more in-depth assessment we will be pleased to discuss their requirements. Top

Land Rover Auto Test:

The driver of the Land Rover is blindfolded and other team members travel in the vehicle to give direction around an obstacle course. An experienced instructor sits in the passenger seat to supervise this fun activity. Land Rover Reverse Steer Vehicle: Our Land Rovers are capable of being converted to a reverse steer vehicle (in 5 seconds!) and guests are to try their skill around the same obstacle course with the steering reversed!

 

Maxcat 6 x 6 Amphibians:

These are 6 wheel drive amphibious vehicles which steer on the same principle as a tank using two levers to brake the wheels on one side allowing it to turn in it's own length. An experienced instructor travels in the vehicle to impart the necessary skills to negotiate a tight obstacle course.

Competition Croquet:

Eventive have devised a fun format which, although played to the accepted rules, allows for up to 16 players at a time. The games can be carried out to a flexible timetable making it a very enjoyable part of a multi activity day. All equipment is provided and we supply professional coaches to supervise and instruct.

Indoor Clay Pigeon Shooting:

Programmable Active Random Indoor Shooting System (PARISS). The popularity of simulated clay pigeon shooting, as provided by the Laser Clay system, has been expanded to give an indoor activity which provides a very competitive shooting discipline. The five gun MK2 Laser Clay system is connected to the PARISS computer which presents five simulated targets. The targets are small boxes which display a clay sized ring of lights and contain a bright xenon flash light. They are mounted on tripods, at varying heights and distances, to give a stimulating layout. The computer can set various different shooting options to keep the guests entertained.

Trials Cars (Hill Climb specials):

These amazing vehicles, made popular on TV in the 60's, are designed to climb the steepest hills. Although the cars are very powerful, this is a low speed activity requiring technique, skill and judgement. The course consists of a series of "gates", each designated by 2 poles, through which clients have to negotiate on a very steep slope. An experienced instructor travels on the vehicle to give advice and tuition during the drive.

Hoverjets:

Driving with a difference, no brakes! We use the latest single seater Sports Hovercraft with single hand operated controls. Clients will soon pick up the technique of "flying" around an interesting obstacle course.

Musket and Antique Firearms Shooting:

This is an interesting departure from conventional clay shooting with a history lesson thrown in. A varied selection of antique firearms will be demonstrated and guests invited to fire the black powder muskets and flintlocks at various "fun" targets including balloons, clays etc.. For an additional cost we can provide another instructor, dressed in American war of indepenance costume, who will get guests involved in firing a 4.5 inch bore cannon. This has been modified to fire large rubber balls at a mock British castle. This is always very popular, especially with American clients, as we all know the outcome of the war!

Yacht Racing Day:

The perfect introduction to sailing an offshore yacht, either for your clients or staff. A typical day begins with coffee or breakfast at the marina in Hamble. This is followed by a safety briefing and an introduction to the basics of sailing by the skipper aboard one of our sigma 38s. These popular cruising yachts are ideal for up to eight guests and are well looked after vessel's, not the usual ex fleet "hacks" on offer by other companies.

After the initial briefing and familiarisation with the boat, groups are soon heading out to sea under the supervision of the skipper and assistant crew member. Once under way everyone is given the opportunity to become an integral part of the sailing team by working together to keep the boat on course, practising sailing techniques and gaining confidence.

At the end of a mornings sailing, boats are either anchored or moored together for lunch on board or, if preferred, ashore at a yacht club in Cowes or Yarmouth. After lunch everyone sets off again for an afternoon consisting of a series of short races. Tasks are continually rotated to give everyone a chance to experience every aspect of handling an ocean going yacht. Taking the helm, trimming the sails, hoisting the spinnaker, even a little navigation!... There's always a job for someone.

The day ends with prize giving back at the yacht club, a relaxing drink at the bar and an exchange of stories about the days achievements.

Deux Cheveaux (2 CV) Build & Race:

As the name suggests, the team's objective is to build a 2 CV utilising all the skills and initiative the team can muster. Once achieved, as many team members as possible must race in turn through a coned course in the remaining time with hilarious consequences. The team must then dismantle the vehicle and place all parts in order, ready for the next team.

Competition Air Pistol:

We provide a 7 metre air weapons range with a professional shooting instructor to supervise. The pistols are the latest design, Walther top quality, CO2 powered weapon fitted with state of the art Red Dot electronic sights. The guns also have an 8 shot revolving magazine. Full instruction and detailed tuition on mean points of aim, concentration etc., is carried out before a competition and fun shoot at various targets.

 

RIB Treasure Hunt:

Designed for the outgoing, a Rib Treasure Hunt provides thrilling and competitive entertainment. The various Rib Treasure Hunt packages include both land and sea based clues and challenges, involving stops in several different ports.

The challenges are likely to involve charts, clues, stop watches, Polaroid cameras, and objectives to complete. The Treasure Hunt is both stretching and entertaining; every team member will be able to take the lead in tasks ranging from the logical to the outrageously creative.

The day will usually include bacon rolls and coffee on arrival, lunch (from baguettes to waterside BBQ) and a Pimms prize giving reception. These days are fabulous fun!
