Most grounds now charge minimum £30 to shoot 100 registered Sporting.

 

At Doveridge yesterday I paid £34 for 100 birds, which included a £2 levy to the West Midlands branch of the CPSA.

 

When you add in the cost of the shells, plus about £60 in fuel for the Range Rover on the 220 mile round trip, it sure ain't a poor mans sport..!!

 

Perhaps I shoud stick to shooting the real Pigeons, it's a heck of a lot cheaper..!!

Seems to depend on the quality of the shoot, there are so many round my way if you charge over the top you won't pull the punters in.

 

£10-12 for 50 for an average shoot and £27 for 100 for a very good one!

 

I don't travel great distances to shoot any more (no company car + fuel card now) so I am glad there so many grounds close by..

I totally agree its the quality of the ground and its amenities in Leicestershire we have 2 but both at the opossite end of the scale both good grounds for clay pigeon but one very basic £8 for 50 clays the other £12 for 50 clays one has club house and good gun shop the other nothing.
