Despite the poor weather over 20 guns turned up to shoot on Sat 20th Feb. Mainly regulars but also several previous visitors and a couple of new faces. The top score reported to me was 50/60. So it was a challenging shoot. Could you do better? There are no prizes just the friendly banter of your fellow shooters. There is a shoot every second Saturday throughout the year. Pickup up a calendar and/or mug (FoC) which give the shoot dates. The layout/format changes with each shoot. The cost for a 60 bird round is £15, you can have a second round for £12. Tea/coffee on the ticket. Bacon rolls and more can be purchased. Cartridges are available at £4:50 / box 25. Starts 12:30, you shoot at your own pace in your own group or join a group. For more details go to www.redbournburyfishery.co.uk or see Redbournbury Fishery and Shooting Clays on Facebook (look at Visitors Posts - click >). NOTE: The post code AL3 6RS and site flag given on Google maps are for the farm. The site is best approached from the A1081 St Albans to Harpenden road. Turn down and follow Beesonend Lane to the ford. Turn right on the ford to continue down the lane to the site. Look out for the Brown fishery signs and on shoot days the Black and White boards and arrows. If you approach from the A5183 St Albans to Redbourn road via Redbournbury Lane (past the Mill) you will have to cross two wide and sometimes deep fords. The site is on the flood plane and can be wet and muddy, so bring suitable footwear. On non shoot days the site offers two fishing lakes, one fly fishing for trout, the other is a well stocked coarse lake. Both are available on day tickets. In season there is chalk stream fishing for Brown Trout (strictly catch and release). Ask for details.
