JonD Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Following on from the Clay day thread if anyone is interested please post your interest below. Thinking of a fun day encompassing ESP, ESK, DTL which allows all to try new things and have a bit of a laugh at the same time. Location most likely Bisley in Surrey. If there is any interest i'll organise it. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Sorry Guys, but Bisley's not a "fun" ground, there's plenty of tarp and skeet on offer, but not much else..........Yawn. Despite the fact that it's on my doorstep, i.e. a 120 mile round trip, it's so damn boring..!! Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_R Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Have you seen the pay-and-play Sporting layout at Bisley? It is arranged around Long Siberia, opened last Autumn. I used it to get my eye back in on the O/U in time for Beaters' Day, and I liked it. That's saying something as far as I am concerned as by and large I really don't like clay shooting much at all. That probably means my opinion doesn't count for much among the serious clay men, but it was just what I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_c Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) If I am free on the aranged date, please count me in. I have only shot sporting so far, will make a change for me, and also to meet a few of the guys form here. What cartridges for skeet and DTL? Cheer's Nick.

andyw62 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Jon, I started shooting (at) clays about this time last year. I mostly shoot Sporting but have also tried English Skeet (PB 21) and had a couple of goes at DTL (abysmal - don't ask!). I might be able to join you, depending on when it happens. Sorry, but I can't be definite. If you are planning for a Sunday meet-up, BSG Pay & Play will only be open Tue-Fri after 14th March until November, which makes the Sporting a bit of a problem if that's where you were thinking of... Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get on? Last time I went I really struggled on stands 20 and 21! Oops... don't want to derail the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyoftheboy Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 How did you get on? Last time I went I really struggled on stands 20 and 21! Oops... don't want to derail the thread. stands 20 & 21.... blimey.... didn't get that far John. we turned up fairly late around 2.45pm, had a bit of a mishap finding the pay & play and ended up at the sporting layout where they give lessons... oops. then drove off and found "Long Siberia" (the pay & play). shot stands 1-13... averaged 65-70%... by then a guy came round and said they were closing up (was just after 4pm at this stage). 1st few stands were weird... almost like a small skeet range. then they got a little better! the stands where they do the lessons were far more exciting!

John_R Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Ah, I've been starting around stand 7, and the first couple times I was deliberately choosing stands that would give me clays that were a bit like what I was expecting for Beater's day and when I was also hoping to walk up some pheasants and ducks on a rough shoot. 20 and 21 have a couple traps on high cranes waaaaaay out in the trees! Maybe we could start a thread in the Clays section, I will be going back to Bisley P&P for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
