Testimonials

In my role as a Director Of Business Development, I have the opportunity to travel from Texas to Scotland frequently for business. I am also an avid hunter and outdoors man who is looking for new experiences in the locations I travel to. I was introduced to Mike and he facilitated a proper bird hunt outside of Aberdeen for me which was an experience  that was built on safety as its foundation and rich with the culture of this type of hunting in Scotland. From the beginning of the hunt where Mike briefed everyone on his expectations for a safe hunt to Mike's military background and rich knowledge of Scotland history ( the attire, the dogs and etiquette for these types of hunts) Mike ensured that the hunt was best in class.  Based on my experience with Mike I know now where I need to take my clients to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for these types of events

Did my rifle Safety and firearms training with Ythan Field Sport Supply Ltd. Had a great day out and could not recommend them highly enough, the knowledge and experience of the instructors are second to none and the course itself was informative yet ran in such a way that the information is easy to digest. Big thanks to the lads at Ythan Field Sports.

Thanks once again to Mike and Graham for a superb day out. We had asked for a package combining clay pigeon and rifle shooting for 3 people as a gift for my son's 21st Birthday. We were looking for something more in depth than the half hour sessions offered by many activity centres. Mike certainly delivered with a brilliant package that lasted about 4 hours and was great value, even before considering the unexpected bonus guns that were included. The whole day was very professionally organised with a reassuring emphasis on gun safety throughout. Mike and Graham were great instructors, patient with us first time shooters and keen to share their enthusiasm, experience and coffee and sausage rolls in their bothy at half time. A great day out that I would definitely recommend. We'll certainly be back,

A huge thank you to Mike and Davie for taking the time to make the rifle safety and firearms training as applicable to my line of work as possible. An informative, and easy going course that really introduced me (a novice) to what is required to safely handle firearms. The theory section was great and interesting, and the practice on the range both fun and informative. Both of them were very approachable and great teachers! Thank you again!

I would like to thank Mike and all at Ythan Field Sport Supplies Ltd for the incredible advice, support and customer care that I have been lucky enough to experience over the past months, whilst choosing and testing a rifle, accessories and ammunition for stalking. Nothing has been too much trouble for Mike and his team. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend YFSS without reservation. Many thanks. R.H.

I selected the rifle safety/familiarisation course run by Mike and Dave as a step to building a portfolio of experience/evidence prior to applying for my own firearms license. The course content and activities were far more than I had anticipated. They put together a very detailed program followed by a considerable range of practical demonstrations and target practice in a variety of settings with various firearms. I really appreciated their close attention, patience, detailed knowledge and professionalism. As a non-native English speaker they were extremely accommodating to ensure I understood the subject matter. Mike and Dave clearly wanted to provide a professional, welcoming and supportive environment. The course is exceptional value and I came away feeling I had received a huge injection of knowledge. It was a perfect start. It gave me a lot of confidence and a hunger to continue. I look forward to going back to further my experience with the stalking opportunities that they also provide.
