Admiral Von Tirpitz Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I hear a shoot takes place here on the base every second and last Saturday of the month ( only recently started up) and it runs from 1pm to 3pm. 5 stands with 10 birds each. Not sure of cost. You need to take your certificate and the gate staff will take your photo for security reasons - enter via the main gate (sign posted I am told) Anyone been yet? Any one thinking of attending on the 30th? Could be a few faces there from the Ofton Shoot arranged by Mike/Paul last year, which sadly got closed down by local non country (living in country) residents. I shall make an appearance with my brace of Baikals ( No Hatsun Escort anymore) hopefully Crisis500 may come too with his flash new gun. Get in touch if anyone wants more information.

MC Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Admiral, I have shot there but not for a year or so, it used to be run by a few off the base and you either had to be signed in and escorted accross the base or have a membership card and then they issued you a pass so you could drive yourself. The shoot itself was by the helipad for the Suffolk police helicopter near the low end of the main runway. I cannot make this coming saturday but if you fancy it at all just let me know.

Admiral Von Tirpitz Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 MC, Thanks for post. It seems very much members only, will have to see if the Ofton gang start up again this autumn, last years was good. Adm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorseyGSXR Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi Could someone confirm that this still goes on and what the days are? I spoke with the chap at Mallard Barn, he gave me a phone number (I may of wrote it wrong) but didn't get through to the right person. Any info would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 (edited) Old thread bump. This still shows up on Google search but I haven’t heard any reference to it for years. does this shoot still exist? I’m presuming not. Edited June 4 by Druid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
