The Cefn Llogell woodland site on which Treetops sits on was part of Lord Tredegar's estate and the Nant-y-Moor brook which runs through the wood feeds the large lake at Tredegar House in nearby Duffryn.
The land was purchased from the farmer owner in the late 1980s by DJ Litt Firearms Ltd, a gun retailer based in Newport, with the intent of turning it into a clay shooting ground allowing gun customers to try out guns before purchasing them.
Treetops has hosted local competitions between Cardiff, Bristol and Bath Universities' clay shooting clubs and the South West clay shooting league. The Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, the host venue of the 2010 Ryder Cup, uses Treetops as its venue for clay shooting for its guests.
Treetops will host the Gwent leg of the National Police Shooting Competition in May 2010.
Treetops was voted best UK shooting school 2002 by Shooting Times and Sporting Gun magazines.
