aliengravy Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hey there. Currently studying a the University of Portsmouth and looking to get into Clay pigeon shooting and apply for my shotgun cert. My home is in Suffolk, but as i said, i'm at uni in Portmsouth at the mo. So i'm looking for someone to give me the basics of handling a shotgun and shooting clays. I have done clays previously with a friend informally. Who's out there? any CPSA instructors? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) A few of us from Pompey go to a clay shoot in Emsworth on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Its a bit of a farmer type shoot so nothing formal. If your interested then let me know Failing that take a look at Spitfire shooting ground http://www.spitfireshoot.co.uk/html/practice.html Edited April 19, 2010 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Hi guys it seems like there is a bit of interest so instead of replying to pms individually i thought it would be easier to just post the info (im not being ignorant!)

If it has rained near to the time it will be worth bringing some wellies We usually get there for around 12ish you will know who i am ill be the one missing them all :( Always good to meet new people Marlpit Ln Westbourne Emsworth Hampshire PO10 8EQ Edited April 20, 2010 by mpk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
