HDAV Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Mid wales not exactly close...... there is a ground in Abersoch (The Shooting School, Llanbedrog) never been and not cheap by the looks of it....http://www.theshootingschool.com/ no open practice days for July/August tho..... there aren't many in Gwynedd and Abersoch is a fair way from anywhere else http://www.wctsa.co.uk/clubs.html If you find somewhere let me know as i will be in a similar area that weekend, but thought i would just enjoy the beaches and mountains...

HDAV Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I would ask these guys http://www.fieldsportsequipe.co.uk/ and http://www.gwyneddfirearms.com/40026/contact.php or any other shops you can find... (or buy a cheap trap and rent a field!) Edited July 3, 2010 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 If you are willing to travel you could try Dovey valley near Machynlleth http://www.doveyvalley.co.uk/ Not bad ground and you could wonder round the alternative tech park after. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskymac Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Not sure exactly where Abersoch is I like Llandegla, it's up on the fells so it's a pretty nice place to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abersoch is the tip of llyn peninsula llandegla is wrexham perhaps 2hrs with holiday traffic KenG is from north wales so may know of straw baler or 2 worth calling bob valentines place to double check but i agree the website has no details http://www.glasfryn.co.uk/contact_us.htm used to do clays but it's a family fun place might be worth a call trying to think of any others....
