Pigeon shooting available in East Kent


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

My first post, so be gentle with me!

 

I'd like to let the forum know about our club, the Folkestone & District Sporting Gun Club.

 

We have vacancies with pigeon shooting available around East Kent and our website is www.FDSGC.co.uk.

 

Glad to hear from anyone who's interested.

PM sent.

 

PS our clay prices are very reasonable £15 for visitors for 70 bird sporting!

Not much info listed on the website so wondered if you could either list some prices and details or PM them over?

Not interested in pigeon shooting as I already have plenty of land for shotguns and rifles but always looking for a new choice for clays.

i`m thinking about organising a trip up to the venue on June 19th, will post it up on the meet section.

 

Cool,

 

You'll be welcome.

 

If you would kindly give an idea of how many bodies that will involve, we can make sure we have enough bacon rolls !

Hi :) , whereabouts in Folkestone is the clay shoot? I used to go to one around Hawkinge way if I remember correctly. Is it the same one or a different site?

 

Hi Hamster,

 

Nothing to do with Hawkinge.

 

Its in the Coombe Valley, Dover, (where the banger raceway is).

Could you give some more details of the clay shoot - address, start time etc. Its always nice to try new sites occaisionally.

 

You appear to be trying to avoid making public the address/directions? if that is the case then Im happy to recieve a PM, I'm just intrigued why?

'Hamster' Are you the little guy that is a regular at Greenfields with the golf type trolley for your guns and often had some awsome looking robocop shotgun?

Yes mate, I`m really 6`2" but hide it well :lol: . That ole trolley wore out big time and I`ve been after a replacement since :) . I still shoot the 682/PFS every Sunday, I`ll be there this Thursday too as they have a cheap as chips offer on at the moment, 100 birds for £14.00 members, £16.00 non members.

Hi Canis,

 

You're right - a bit nervous about going too public, due to security reasons, but you guys are hopefully trustworthy on here !

 

We start around 9 (usually with a tea & a bacon roll!)

 

Go into Dover and take the road signposted “Bucklands Hospital”. Go past the hospital and take the first exit at the roundabout towards the industrial area. After ¼ of a mile you will see some big concrete blocks. Take this road for 1 mile and you are there. This is also the road where the Combe Valley Raceway is.

 

Happy to see new faces (and a few old ones no doubt). I too remember Hamster from the Greenfields days of a few years ago.

 

Haven't shot there for ages now - what are the targets like ?

Another question is the shoot fibre wad only or are plastic wads allowed?
