Mr Potter Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have had a look through the directory of grounds and was struggling to find a ground near Preston to shoot on a Saturday? Unless I am not seeing something, Can anyone recommend a ground ? Thanks There are a number of clay shoots around the Preston area but the only one that I know of that is open on a Saturday is Blackpool Gun Club. Very highly recommended and not as far from Preston as it sounds. http://www.blackpoolsportingclays.co.uk/ Mr Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southrop Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I agree, Blackpool is a good ground albeit a bit bleak in the sleet and rain! I live near longridge and mainly shoot at Coniston on Saturday although kelbrook and Manchester are easy to get to as well. I try and shoot a registered on a Sunday if I can face a 1 1/2 hour drive otherwise lots of local grounds shoot Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havana Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks very much I will check that out I live in Leicester but my future wife comes from Bleasdale, just down the road from Longridge I have been to bobbin mill on a Sunday a few times. We are coming up in a couple of weeks to do some wedding planning and stuff, my fiancée in going bridesmaid dress shopping, and I really need to find something to get me away from that on the Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot on the Sunday at Bobbin Mill, i have shot there before ok little ground, got 18/25 on DTL so I was very happy as I never really shoot that. I will be up and down quite a bit in the coming months so next time I am coming up i will post if i can shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
