mudpatten Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 See you there. Nick Chappel is bringing his 10 bore auto and some factory lead loads just for a bit of practice. He`s just come back from Jockland and could`nt hit a barn door with it. I`ll try and round up some of this years new members to make up the numbers.

Regardless, would be interested in an 'oggy meet up sometime in the new Year, unfortunately I work a lot of Sundays; anyone know of any mid week shooting locally?

arjimlad Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Wow - that's a blast from the past for me. I grew up in Waterlooville and used to shoot at this site 20 years ago or more. I also used to shoot air rifles at the field target club which met in the adjacent gravel pit. I hope illegal scramblers are not as much of a problem as they used to be. A pal of mine was lining up on a bolting rabbit clay along at this shoot once, when a kid on a scrambling bike rode along the other side of the boundary fence at the same speed as the clay, a couple of yards from the clay ! Glad the shoot is still going & I wish you all good shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 YeahDetails please Id be up for a meet in the new year Take the Botley - Winchester road and at the Fishers Pond pub turn east onto Hensting Lane. Go about a mile then take a (signposted) track to the left. This wanders on for over a mile, FWD useful but not essential, until you come to a field car park at the top of the hill. Enter the wood and search for the hut! Most stands are in the wood looking out over farmland in all directions. Again, it's a search for all 9 stands, there's little in the way of signs. Wellies nearly always essential and better to have used the loo at home! There are refreshments available. Usually a good variety of birds and rabbits, not too challenging but not too easy. May well be there Sunday 20th as have wangled day off. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Anything on in our area on Sunday 27th? Rare Sunday off, shame to waste it. Sunday 3rd is Chalky Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Fareham might be Nothing on their web site for that day, only 20th & 3rd, same as Chalky Hill. Besides, they appear to be all about competition and not just banging away at 50 English Sporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 It would appear that Wallers Ash is the only ground open on 27th, not tried it before but I'll be there. Chalky Hill was STUNNING in the snow & brilliant sunchine last Sunday. Thank God for an ancient Land Rover, the back lanes past Arlesford were ice rinks! And a Hoggy Christmas to all our readers.

Gilberts1989 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Old thread I know but does anyone know if this still is run? Can't find any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Dunno about Emsworth but, the last I heard, Hensting Lane was sold and no longer hosts a shoot. It's a pity, that, as it was my second-favourite shoot (after the Compton Manor shoot at Romsey). Regards, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Old thread I know but does anyone know if this still is run? Can't find any info I haven't been since this thread and I Dont think it will.open again. It was always plagued by antis moaning to the council about noisy gunfire ruining the Sunday afternoon and had closed a few times before this. On a positive there is a small straw bailer in Gosport every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month and also fareham clay club with different dates. These are the ones we use now.

chrispti Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Emsworth has been closed for a few years now, same for hengsting lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yes, Emsworth & Hensting Lane both long gone. I doubt that Sherfield English will be open tomorrow after all the recent rain. Only Waller's Ash (always crowded) & 3 Counties (long drive) open tomorrow for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
