Beardo Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 i enquired about that - and you can't shoot without being accompanied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 i enquired about that - and you can't shoot without being accompanied That's not a clay shooting ground then. It's a "you must be wadded, so bend over, we're going to roger you with a stiff wire brush" ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigweed Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 And have a look at how much it cost to stay the night. Think I'd want a couple of maids for the night thrown in as well for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ah! £60 for clays, cartridges and instruction isn`t quite so bad but could be a bit cheaper yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbart Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 The whisky was £12.80 or something for a single(we had doubles) and the pints were around the fiver mark I remember having a bloody mary one night aswell and that was £11 It is fair to say there is cheaper places out there.

Dunkield Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 cartridges were £7.50 on top of that. I am glad you confirmed that, we met up with some friends in Scotland who had been there clay shooting for the day and told me the same, it seemed unbelievable at the time.

One round costs as much as the whole night out did before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) had an hour free this morning for the first time, and as the wife had forbidden me to shoot last weekend when i was home i bit the bullet and had a shoot at Gleneagles. Stunning location overlooking the glen up towards the mountains and a great instructor John. Shot reasonably well and learnt a whole load - never shot Ptarmigan (white clay, random angle riser from beneath you) or Grouse (random angle towards and above you) on Sporting before, so that was a fun new experience.

Cranfield Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I was there many years ago on a Corporate weekend, I was the only guest who didn't play golf and so I was invited to shoot clays. At that time the clay shooting was something to do with Jackie Stewart and I was able to shoot a couple of the Sporting stands with one of a pair of .410's he had made. Quite an experience and I agree on the spectacular views, I was also able to see some hawks working that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandyke Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 The £7.50 is for 25 clays and cartridges As already said it is a stunning site and a huge variety of targets. Tuition is also excellent. They also run a shooting club £475 a year. that includes 500 clays and cartridges and instruction. 1 day fishing for yourself and 3 guests 1 day air rifle for yourself and 3 guests 1 day Archery for yourself and 3 guests Also 1 members only shoot day, 10% off all purchases and reduced room rates Not the cheapest of sites but not that expensive if you stay away from the bar, well worth going for that special occasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
