MITCHF Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Hi PAT, It's a small shoot, run by a small group of shooters, all self funded. Held through summer, finished now. Sporting layout, not advertised. In the grounds of the Kinmel estate, through the gate at the end of the car park of the Kinmel Arms,St George. You'll have to wait until next year now Come and try Caerwys it's only 15mins away, I live in Abergele. We shoot twice a month, 100 sporting, occasionally 50. Great shoot, friendly bunch. http://www.caerwys-d...rgetclub.co.uk/ Edited October 23, 2012 by MITCHF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'll entirely support what Mitch has said. I'm relatively newly back into shooting, and a very welcoming crowd up in Caerwys. All standards, from the brilliant to ... erm, me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footu Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I moved to caerwys a couple of years ago, started shooting this year and am dead keen on getting more practise so I just checked out the website. So people are hitting 90s out of a hundred, I'd be more like 20! Do they have a noobs section or lessons? Thanjs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I've never broken the 50% rate yet, so no worries. Last sunday I was having an absolute mare. On 2 stands I got 1/10. Not pretty when I got home, SWMBO asked how it had gone. My reply : I scared a few :blink: Edited October 23, 2012 by robbiep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITCHF Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Footu, there are three categories A / B / C, "some" of the A class may hit the odd 90. But the traps change every week, so do the scores, also there are many members that have been shooting for years and have worked up to those scores, as you will The C class is full of lower scores (and higher), plenty and regularly under 30. But the best thing about the club is the free coaching and advice you can get, some very good shooters giving you advice that a BASC or CPSA coach will charge you for Come up and take a look, you can shoot three times as a non-member before you need to join.

The only thing that puts me off Caerwys is the trek over the muddy field to get there Edited October 25, 2012 by PatK100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footu Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I did much better than I hoped and shot 23. That was partly due to being given more time on the second and allowed to select the first twice if I wanted, but still very happy with that.especially after the 8ft lead on the first scary pair! At least I didn't shoot the real rabbit onthe rabbit run-who got to take it he for tea in the end? Very friendly place and I will be joining for the new year, can't make the 18 th as I already agreed to shoot at ince on the Wirral with a mate- and it's only a fiver for 70 clays! Am then off to Thailand fishing for a bit so miss the first one in December as well but will be there for the Xmas shoot. Nice to meet you robbie and look forward to shooting less clouds and more clays in the future. Edited November 9, 2012 by Footu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
