BangBangNik Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi, I've recently got back into shooting, just clays at the moment and was wondering if there was anyone who frequents Kelbrook shooting ground that was looking for a shooting buddy. Cheers Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg123 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi Nik I have been to Kelbrook about a dozen times over the last 6 months or so. I usually go at 9am on a Sat as that is the best time for me to shoot. I have a few other things on between now and xmas but will resume my regular visits in the new year. If you dont get fixed up by then drop me your details on a PM. You may also want to consider trying Rishton on a Sunday. Shooting starts at 11am. You just need to turn up and ask Mark to find you someone to go round with. Ta pg123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Kelbrook is a decent, if too compact a ground, but I have never seen a social side to it. Rishton is closed this Sunday, but the advice is good. Mark Threlfall is a top lad, who will sort you out. Bit more travel for you to Rishton, but it's cheaper, friendlier and better food. If you get stuck - ask him to point you in my direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangBangNik Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome and replies guys. I think I may have to give rishton a go. Has a look at the web page and looks good. If you see me there come and say hi...... I'll be the fool who turns up on a yellow motorbike.

BlaserF3 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hello Gordon, have you tried the food at Kelbrook recently...excellent, decent bacon, quality buns, with a choice of different types. A full English breakfast made with local produce. I have been to Rishton twice and found the bacon buns to be quite average. Nik, did you pop up that Friday afternoon,and have a shot with tarn2215 and myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberian Tiger Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi Nik, Kelbrook is definitely on my agenda in the next few weeks (as is Coniston). Do you get down to Worsley at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangNik Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hey blaser, no that wasn't me, I did pop up yesterday afternoon but it was foggy as ,so I spun round and came home. I went back up today for a quick 50 and it was a good call as the weather was very pleasant. Tiger, I haven't been down worsley. It's abit awkward at the mo as I only have the motorbike and no car so it's abit of a pain taking gun and shells long distances on that. I'm hoping to give coniston a blast in the very near future along with rishton. If either of you are about in the future drop me a message as I am eager to meet and make some shooting buddies. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangBangNik Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks for the heads up, I shall keep an eye out for them. I'm sure the last thing people want to see is me thrashing around on the floor like a fish out of water, gun and shells spread across the Tarmac.

pg123 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Hi BangBangNik See you at Kelbrook on Saturday at 9am as agreed. Anybody else fancy joining a couple of newbies as we waste some lead please feel free to add your name to the list Edited November 15, 2011 by pg123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Mike - I haven't sampled Rishton's food recently due to diet. 4 stone down, but another 4 to go. Mark Sw tells me it is still fine - not that he is a quality critic - more a quantity critic. They changed the barms about 18 months ago - new ones aren't as good as the old supply. Went to Worsley last weekend and that had improved so I will give Kelbrook another go. :) :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeredup Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Could be tempted to try out Kelbrook as i usually shoot at Blackpool sporting clays as its handy for me and its been a friendly place to visit and very welcoming to a newbie like myself but have looked at Kelbrook and thought it looks a good setup and i can also shoot a tuesday or i will be able to once i escape from the oil industry sponsored rehab centre i am currently residing in until the 14th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
