Hi all! First time poster on this forum, just wanted to say hi! Am fairly new to clay shooting (started in Feb this year) and am really enjoying weekends out on the clay grounds. I started off going to Park Farm (Phil Sanders) outside Ombersley which is a fairly nice ground but limited on days offered. Recently started going to Griffin-Lloyd shooting ground in mid wales and have found it to be a really good course layout and open 7 days too! My question really is, have any of you seasoned shooters got any hidden gem clay shooting grounds around shropshire / Worcestershire / Gloucestershire that you might be willing to divulge on this forum? Would also be nice to meet some more guns with similar interests in the local area too (I am based around 20 miles from Kidderminster in south shropshire area)........ God that sounds likes dating request! Anyways, any advice or tips to new shooter welcome! Thanks all Andy

Went to see my folks at the weekend and managed to slip out Sunday morning for a couple of rounds of DTL at the Bridgnorth and district gun club just of the A454 between Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton. Its a bit tricky to find but they do put out signs on a shoot day, its not far from the Fox pub http://www.finepubs.co.uk/thefoxatshipley/findus.aspx just up rudge lane from the pub and left up a track (track isnt tarmac but easy driving in a normal car no need for a 4x4 at least in dry weather! I've only shot at the cross gun club in the area really (sporting non reg) so to find a reg trap ground 25 min up the road was great! So they kick off around 11 but go on till the afternoon (great as you can shoot at cross, strict times till 12:00 IIRC then head off up the road for some afternoon trap!) entries for the reg shoots stops at 2:30 I shot 50 reg which was a complete bargain at £7 per 25, There is a club house doing drinks and food although i didnt buy any it did smell good! Had a chat to few regulars and Ron the chairman while they got set up. So i booked in first and was then joined by a couple of DTL virgins, and a couple of regulars made up the 5. So we headed out for the first 25 (ref was a real character and the scorer was good fun too) I didn't shoot too badly (for me) nice birds and my first time shooting DTL from an open layout. Second line not so good (dropped first and last bird!) I had plans with the family so had to shoot and run (shame i fancied another round or 2). They also have ABT and sporttrap type set up and can do "have a go" if required. Anyway for any midlands people i recommend you take a visit family friendly ground and a couple of garden centres nearby if shooting isn't their thing
