Dougy Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 This will be a fine oppertunity for all the "super i can do all shots" to prove to all lesser mortals that they do actually speak a little truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 How about a 300yard egg shoot (that will be a chicken egg ) say £5 a shot,the winner takes all or spilts with any other jammy imp it may entice the gifted ones to come and have a go. I may even see if i get get hold of some special targets that go pop :yp: if you know what i mean :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARKIE Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think there's still a bit of confusion over which catton hall this is.....its the home of the basc game keepers fair that was on this weekend. HERE The BASC Gamekeepers' Fair, Catton Park, Catton Estate, Walton-on-trent, Derbyshire, DE12 8LN HERES THE RIFLE SHOOT. http://www.cattonriflesport.co.uk/ YOU DO NOT NEED A RANGE CERTIFICATION CERTIFICATE TO SHOOT THIS.

SPARKIE Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 PLEASE IF ANYONE COMING CAN BRING A LASER RANGE FINDER THAT WOULD BE GREAT.,.....WE NOW HAVE TO PROVE THAT A .22LR WONT DO A 30MM GROUP AT 180 YARDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi Sparkie, You said, way back in the topic, that there was a pub a mile away - Does it do food? Is their anything in the way of sandwich shop or fish and chippie? Want to keep my catering arrangements as simple as possible.

Grandalf Yes you have the Swan Inn Walton, does food, if you want to travel a further mile into Barton there is a Thai which is prety good for an evening nosh and another pub next to that. Fish and chippy also in Barton & Indean,****** and another 7 pubs , but if your lucky there should be some good nosh being taken and cooked on the BBQ thats if anyone is taking one Any other info on nearby attractions just ask, its my birth place, mind you its changed allot since the good old days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
