PatK100 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi Folks Many years ago I used to live in the Derby area and most of my relations still do. Going down to visit is August for a week or so - apart from Doverage and Lowes Lane are there any clay shoots in the Derby area these days. I seem to remember shooting regularly at a farm on the road between Aston and Chellaston and at the Preist House - Castle Donnington. Wondered if any of these places are sill going, if they are I thought I would visit some old haunts. Many thanks Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Pat I don't know if the Priesthouse still has a shoot or not, but you're near East Mids, Kegworth, Hemlock, Sutton Bonington, Foxhills, Wymeswold (at a push).

It is very rare that a trap goes empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
