majordisorder Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Anyone tried this place near Northampton? Spoke to the guy who runs it today and it's a private facility where you have exclusive use of the grounds. Sounded pretty good but has anyone shot / had a lesson there?

Diceman Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I crawl past this ground every morning as I'm queueing to get over the M1 and have often wondered what lies beyond the gate. Their website seems to be u/s and not a lot on the net that I can find. I too would be interested to know if they are still going and if so, what the coaching is like.

PhilR Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think this is the place Terry Fricker operates his coaching business from. If I recall correctly he runs shooting & coaching stands at country fair type things. I've seen the metal gate open sometimes, I assume when some coaching is going on, I don't think there's an open to all shooting ground there though.

majordisorder Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 It's certainly still running and open Monday to Saturday 9 - 2 but you have to book in advance for sole use of the ground. Cost is £55 / hour with unlimited clays. I'm really interested in giving it a go but just wanted to see if anyone had tried it first before taking the plunge. Anyone up for a joint session there?

phillipbradshaw Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I can see that this topic is several years old but did anyone establish whether this coaching ground is still there or not? Years ago they had a Saturday training day for £60 (then) which I remember as great value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 There's a Courteenhall SG sign on the metal gate across the entrance to the track up the field. Not seen the gate open though for a long time, probably best to ring and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) spoke to John ... hes well and busy ... But had a slot for today After a pleasant session at Courteen I mentioned the closed gates ... John pointed to his 3rd new generator in a short time and mentioned that the estate has contractors on site so he hoped gate closure might discourage casual wanderers given that his work is by apointment ....
