midlander1976 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hi Forum, I am in Harlow, Essex on Monday and Tuesday with work and will have some spare time whilst I am there so thought I might as well get in some clay shooting if I can! I was wondering if there were any grounds in the Harlow area (within about an hour or so drive would be fabulous so I guess kind of up to 50 miles away) that were open on Mondays or Tuesdays for 'open practice' where you can basically just turn up and shoot (like Doveridge here in the Midlands). I know this is probably a bit of a long shot as most grounds don't open like this but if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be hugely appreciated. Thanks, Midlander :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddJob Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 You've got the fennes at braintree that is open and very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuta Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Most definitely give the Fennes, at Bocking, just outside of Braintree a go, they're about 30 mins from Harlow, open all week, really friendly, have a good & varied selection of targets & run on a similar system to clay mate, so you can shoot on your own if there's no one else to play with. They've also now got a branch of Essex gun attached & they do food too. Sorry, haven't got their full details to hand, but a quick Google search will turn them up. Hope that helps & good shooting!

TbirdX Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Theres also Three acres shooting ground not far from Harlow along the A414. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hchris Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Fennes is the only one open all week from 9am but check on the web they do stop shooting for up to an 1 hour if there is a Wedding next door. http://www.fennesclays.co.uk/membership.php Fyfield is closer but only open Wednesday Thursday and Friday afternoon. http://www.claypigeonshoot.co.uk/essex_shooting_ground.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
