MrAdaam Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi, I was wondering if anyone shooting in Lincolnshire would be interested in getting a days shooting in at some point? I'm new to the sport and eager to meet people in the area, so what better way than to blast some clays and/or game? Open to ideas on what the day will be around - clay pigeon might be the easiest though. I've found a few websites around the place for some clubs but there doesn't seem to be an awful amount online about the local clubs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) I'd love to have a play on the clays (with a bit of notice), trouble is , no transport, unless you are going to Pinewood, at Blyton, Nr Gainsborough. What area of Lincs are you in? Edited September 21, 2011 by Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAdaam Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'm based out of Louth. According to Google Maps, you'd be about an hour out of the way Bloke. Perhaps if we can decide on a venue we can sort out possible transport issues? Anybody know of anything local? I know of Saltfleet and Nettleton. Anything towards Lincoln or any other area's of the county? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, I might be able to get a lift, all depends at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I used to shoot clays on Kirton Lindsey airfield.....they did tuition as well.....don't know if it's still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I used to shoot clays on Kirton Lindsey airfield.....they did tuition as well.....don't know if it's still there. I was shooting with David Norr that used to run it only last week - he closed it down over a year ago. Saying that, I have my plumber here today and he has heard that it has reopened, so it is anyone's guess, I will try and check in the next couple of weeks, it is only 3 miles from me.

MrAdaam Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Rimotu, thanks for the link. Gave them the call and that seems like the kind of club I'd like to join. Going there this Saturday (24th) if anyone from here is likely to turn up? It sounds like a very welcoming place. Now all I need is some farm permissions to shoot over! As for a meet up, is there any other Lincs shooters on the board? If not, we need everyones location to try and get something central.

MrAdaam Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 So, I count 6 of us. Avalable dates? I'm away and busy for most of October so would be thinking a weekend in November? How is everyones availability there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
