Admiral Von Tirpitz Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Is there anyone else on PW who come along to this friendly shoot near Ipswich? Seems some locals are determined to close it down over noise issues, but the club owners intend to fight on with the press coming to give support today.

Admiral Von Tirpitz Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for replies. Yes it is Offton, shoot is on Pot Ash Farm. The next shoot is Sunday 22nd November, it starts 11am and ends at 3pm, so people just turn up when they like between these times and pay for a round of 30 or go round twice with 60 - £7 a round. It was featured in the East Anglian Daily Times yesterday ( Friday 13th November) on page 16. It would seem the veggie pub across the fields has made the complaint to the council, but its only on for a few hours every other sunday and the pub is a fair distance away. Not only that the area is on the regular flight path of Apache Attack Helicopters from RAF Wattisham, so its not very quiet anyway. I think they have lodged an appeal now, which gives a further 3 months breathing room I think. If you see a silver Volvo V50 or a silver Merc C220 Sport there, it will be me. Would be good to see others attend - Hatsuns very welcome, chap recently used a Hatsun here and had two straight rounds. Oh and by the way Mallard Barn Shop (local gun shop on a farm) in Wattisham has a nice range of Hattys for sale, some pump models and some with some very flash wood and details, any Hatsun fans would do well to give them a look Admiral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yes I use Mallard barn gun shop, I know Richard. he's a nice guy you just need to keep a check on his prices thats thats all. I often visit to drool over the Hatsans lol OK Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I will be up for a shoot on the 22nd, anyone else fancy it meet there about 11? Can we have a postcode or address for the satnav? Is it fibre only? Cheers MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder where they all went around here??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Rob, Is that why it is such a secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Von Tirpitz Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Try IP7 7DD - That will take you to the Veggie pub, as I have no idea what the postcode is at the farm - From the pub and pointing your car in the Wattisham direction, take the first left after the pub and within 200 yards you should hear shots of a gun through the hedge, go about another 300 yards and there is a farm entrance on the left, drive up here (another hundred yards) and you have arrived at your destination. Dont go asking at the veggie pub for directions - as they are trying to close the shoot down and will probably give you directions to the nearest quarry! I'll be there for 11 too that week. There are a number of Hatsuns present - its bit like Hatsun Pride Admiral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 If you were to use google maps could you tell us the long/latitude? This way you can pin point exactly where it is and makes the sat nav route almost 100% accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Von Tirpitz Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 haha - I hope the last post with a little joke, my directions above are foolproof, I am sure you will find it, no problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graylag Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi guys i am paul one of the two blokes that run offton clay shot its me and the father inlaw that run it. We would like to thank you guys on pegeonwatch for your support sadly the next clay shot is the last at potash farm hopefully we will find some were else to hold it.But it may take a while .It's a shame but as a clay small friendly clay shoot we can not afford to go to court on this matter these people make me sick they will not be happy until all country side sports are no longer done. the last shoot is on the 6th of december we need to use up all the clays we have left so come along and have some fun we would like to go out with a bang :good:highest score of the day wins a turkey thanks very much from graylag (paul neal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
