Clay pigeon shooting thread.

[wildoliver]

Who is interested in a day or evenings clay shooting?

If we can get a few people together I will happily book a session at my local club at Brandsburton, depending how many you want to shoot then cost varies between £15 and £25.

Tuesday and thursday evenings have an offer on too, nice evenings shooting anyone?

If your interested copy and paste names below, and mark next to your name experienced or novice.

Wildoliver - Experienced

[johnboyo]

I'm up for this mate.

Wildoliver - Experienced
Johnboyo - Irish...but still a novice (with moving targets)

[soxboy]

I did it on a stag do a few months ago and really enjoyed it.

Would be up for it provided there are guns available and a few people on hand with some handy top tips.

If anyone knows of any good places to start in the region it would be appreciated.

[wildoliver]

No probs people, I'd like to organise it for back end of August if possible.

Provisionally 31 Aug Thurs night.

Time around 7PM.

Would be great if a few other experienced shots came.

Guns are provided if required too.

If the new job lets me do flexi-time, I'd be well up for driving across from Cheshire for this. Only ever shot rifles before, but always up for something new.

[wildoliver]

We'd be really happy to see you, but its a hell of a drive for a couple of hours shooting and a few drinks in the pub, but as long as your happy with that then yes you'd be very welcome!

[Bob the Planner]

Mmmm - I suppose I could pick up a pair from my parents. Not shot for a while now but I'm sure I would pick it up again (Was AA class - now probably be C ).

I've driven further for less.

[Mr Whippy]

Used to shoot there with a friend who went to college over that way...

He's recently started up a range just outside Ilkley for corporate days out etc, I can ask him how much if anyone is interested in one a bit closer to central Yorkshire for future reference??

It's all automated, it's all new gear and on par with the one over at Brandes (if not a bit nicer )


I'd be up for a shoot at some point too

Out of interest Dave was the college Bishop by any chance, as thats where i went!

[Mr Whippy]

Yeah, pretty sure thats where he went.

Both his brothers went there too, all Bush's... will have been about 98>2003 ish I'd say.

Think he (James) spent quite alot of his time shooting there. Goes all over and upto Scotland for shoots and things.

I've got space for one more person.

I've also got 2 friends who will be coming one of whom is an experienced shot.

I shoot, rough and clay, but I can't do the dates unfortunately.

The term you were searching for above is experienced gun

[wildoliver]

However didn't want to appear precocious on a motoring website where most people will not have shot before! :P
