Keeperchris Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hi all, Have a look at the link below. Lady's Wood in south glos are offering a month of deals in April for weekday instruction. Also they have announced an open sporting comp every month on the last Saturday from May - September. Keep an eye on this link for more news. http://www.ladyswood.co.uk/events/ Yes I do work there. Trying to spread the word. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Also guys throughout the summer a 100 bird caddied/ practice round is £40. But u need to book. Think it's a fair price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashman1 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Glad you think its good value atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Whats a caddied practice round, is that where someone follows you around and buttons for you ? For the 100 birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Basically it's a guided round. If u pay 30-35 p per clay for pay and play (the norm around here) there is not a lot in it. Dashman - i was asking if people think it's a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Ok thanks Chris Prices of pence per clay does vary quite a lot up north to down south I must admit Mind you if your use to paying a certain price it's normal to that individual I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 There is a huge variety up and down the country willpoon. Be that shooting schools or straw bale shoots. The only thing I can say is that we are not a Sunday morning straw bale shoot. Not knocking them in any way I enjoy them but we are a full time shooting school and obviously have overheads etc so hence the price.

dashman1 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Keeperchris I just thought it pricey for practice atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Fair enough dashman. The joy of our caddy rounds are you get full use of the ground and can shoot 2 of every target or 100 of 1 particular problem target. It's all about how people perceive the value I suppose. What do u pay for practice, just out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashman1 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Varies £30ish depending where just guageing against registered shoots atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 22p at my club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chady Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Most I pay is 27p and that's at kibworth with the auto release system where you carry the counter with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashman1 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Doverige is about that I believe did not no kibworth had that system atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzurri Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I pay 18p per target for practice on a Thursday at one of my local grounds, other days they charge 24p. They use claymate and you just button yourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) For Sunday straw bale, albeit a challenging one, that's just up the road from you I pay £25/100. For a 100 bird practice round (no caddy) at a full time shoot near Swindon it's more like £30. Not much in it as you say. Would you say Lady's Wood cater as well for the clay shooter as the game shooter looking for out of season practice? I ask because some schools seem more interested in the latter. Thanks Edited April 14, 2014 by MartynGT4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) 22p at my club That's good, I pay 24p for trap (scored) its 22p for members i think and 28p for sporting (claymate) caddied is easier if you are on your own. Chris what's the policy on experienced but none SGC holders shooting? Edited April 14, 2014 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Hi Martyn, lady's Wood has always been known as a game shooters school but are trying to open up to clay shooters too. Hence the practice round for £40. The practice rounds cover the whole ground and we have a variety of targets not just driven. All sorts of teal, crossers, in comers etc. the new and old towers are able to challenge the best of shots. HDAV in what way are u asking for non sgc holders? As practice and lessons are accompanied by an instructor we can lend school guns to novice or experienced shots. Cheers Chris Edited April 15, 2014 by Keeperchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 It seems very steep. I wouldn't personally pay it as a matter of principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 HDAV in what way are u asking for non sgc holders? As practice and lessons are accompanied by an instructor we can lend school guns to novice or experienced shots. Some grounds have stopped any none SGC holders shooting unless paying for a lesson, So is the caddy an instructor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yes it is, obviously the non sgc holder must not be banned from possessing firearms by law. The caddy will be an instructor there will just be no direct instruction however the occasional nudge in the right direction might be issued from time to time ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 OK I have a mate in bristol who doesn't have SGC but has shot loads of times (rifle and shotgun) but he isn't allowed to shoot at certain grounds without a lesson. Apparently its due to the terms of the 11/6 exemption........................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 If he has a criminal record he won't be able to shoot with us either. That's the law unfortunately. But will be ok under 11.6 as instructors will be guiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 If he has a criminal record he won't be able to shoot with us either. That's the law unfortunately. I assume you mean "prohibited person" not just any criminal record? Or do you have a no criminal record policy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeperchris Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sorry my wording yes any 1 prohibited is what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
