Azzurri Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Some small clubs are run by people who just want to shoot or run a club, sometimes have access to a bit of land and some money to buy old traps, so it all costs them very little. I know one small club where a 50 bird sporting layout, over 5 stands costs £7, buy a second round and I think it's £5. What's that, 13p per clay? They use old traps, the farmer isn't using that bit of woodland and is happy for a shoot to be held there as he shoots there, it's a winner all round. It clearly has some profit available as it keeps getting improved in small ways. Oh, no membership cost either. Sounds like good value to me If it's near Scarborough it's not too far from me,have you got any more info ? Azzurri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzurri Sadly it's in West Yorkshire, near Bradford so quite a long way from Scarborough - I only get there when I'm in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bi9johnny Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 our local is £8 for 25 clays and 25 carts usually do 100 at a time i think it's a cheap day out as i don't drink or smoke surprises me how many people take up a hobby and don't look into the cost of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12 Gauge Dave Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 My local ground is 19p per clay, not bad considering some of the other posts and it's got a good sporting layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 North wales shooting school charges six pound a round,they have it on the token system which gives you two free clays on top, the down side is they dont maintain the traps so you can end up losing more then that,i only go when i fancy a round of skeet.

Sunray Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I am a member at Doveridge and pay 20p per clay, non members pay 27p. Annual fee is £51 (I am an old ***), I believe it is £62 for youngsters under 61. They run a system of plug in counters, i.e., you collect a counter at reception and go where you want and shoot as many clays as you want all day. The counter is checked and you pay for the number of clays that you have released (minus nobirds). For this you have access to (amongst others) Sporting, English Skeet, Olympic Skeet, DTL, High Tower, Compact Sporting and Simulated Grouse. I have only ever been to one other clay ground in the 5 years that I have been clay shooting, that was Cloudside. Apart from the cost, I did not like the concept of paying in advance for 25 clays and having no flexibility if I should wish to take half a dozen shots at a particularly challenging clay. I may have been spoiled by the facilities and atmosphere at Doveridge but it is the reason why I will drive 31 miles to get there rather than the 4 miles to get to Cloudside.
