Willow Farm shooting in Kent , any information would be welcome, thanks!

Stay with the Beretta DT11, excellent gun!

Mmmmm! If your gun is unloaded and safe the best way to carry it around at public shooting ground is in a slip, this protects the gun should you lose your footing and fall. Expensive to repair a damaged shotgun, also stops prying eyes, I have often come across the ‘’tut-tut’’ brigade, some of which just can’t wait to voice their opinion of how things should be done! There is generally a lack of understanding regarding semi-auto’s and some users don’t help by failing to pick up their empties (but this seems to cover a range of shooters) o/u users often walk away leaving spent cartridges laying around the stand! I always wonder why they cry when politely asked to pick them up?? Many modern semi-autos have a cut off device which can allow the shooter to lock the breech open when applied, unloaded, safety catch on safe, in a slip your more than covered! There’s plenty of good affordable semi automatic shotguns available to suit all budgets and can give a great deal of enjoyment on the clay range, so don’t worry about the frown’s and tuts , shoot safe and enjoy!

A400 26’’ full chokes, Super fast fibre, for every thing good results all round!

Now fully open Wed-Sun, new website , claymate!

Ashcombe now fully open and much improved, currently no booking for general practice, just turn up and shoot (claymate)!

Reopening Wednesday 3rd August 22, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday check their website for details!

Yeph, Apparently Barbury made the initial offer and then withdrew and the Sportsman & Double Barrel have taken over the ground and are due to open under the new management on Wednesday 3rd August 2022. Which is good news for all the regular shooters and visitors to Devon, wishing well to all!

Apparently this ground has been sold to Barbury? But doesn’t seem to have reopened as yet ? The old website is showing permanently closed, anyone have any info if likely to reopen in time for the summer holidays ?

I am thinking of updating/upgrading one of my 12gauge guns I use for clays, its been a while since purchased a new gun, therefore I would welcome any advice from owner experience as to which model I should invest in, (unfortunately I cannot afford both)!

No, I don’t think that applies, as I shoot with an Easy Hit and with out, once you become accustomed to the changes of the bead it tends to help not hinder!

Can be helpful with eye dominance (Right handed/Master Left eye) I have fitted an EasyHitBead to my Granddaughter’s A400 and have seen a good improvement with her overall Clay hits, also noted that it does help with a beginner getting the gun mounted,level etc. Good in low light conditions, cheap robust and easy to fit. Not all shooters can focus on the the clay, and if a bright bead assists the correct position of the barrels and enables a successful ‘hit’ ,why not??

Atkin Grant and Lang shoot ground, any good? Grateful for any info re facilities etc! thanks!

Try Coniston and kelbrook, both are good grounds, variety of targets and snacks available!

Try a ‘Easy Hit’ bead, cheap, easy to fit and use and tend to help with master eye problems etc!
