njc110381 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I've just been to one of my local clubs to check it out. The prices seem quite reasonable to me, but as I'm new to shotguns I thought I'd ask you guys what you pay to compare. For a 50 bird job, it's £9. Coaching for the same with a gun and cartidges included is £35, which I can do with or without a certificate. I'll wait to hear about my application first, but if they turn me down maybe I'll have a go now and again with the coach. Are these prices reasonable?

Markio Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 £9 is good. Local clubs to me: Braintree £23 per 100 and St Osyth £22 (£18 for members i believe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 The club I went to do cartridges for £3 per box of 25 too, but they were Eleys. Not sure what sort, but they are in a black box and are fibre wad 28g. Seems like a nice place, and not stupidly expensive by the sound of things. Might give it a try.

me and my lad Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 north wales, think they charge £5.00 about 28-29 clays, you get more than 25 but less than 30 !! my lad has his lessons with them cost £20.00, no real time limit but he uses his own gun so i know we save a few quid that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Lancs Lad Where is your local? Stans at Lyndale £10 for 50 birds, chalenging targets and a little coaching free if required. McF and I went to Kelbrook on Sunday, price was around £6 per 25 birds, but the birds and facilities are first class. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacker Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Biddestone gun club £4 for 50 sporting clays. I believe membership costs £25. FM Crikey, you sure you got that right I pay £10 for a round of 60 bird sporting. £5 for a 25 pro-Sport. £4 for a 30 bird flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I normally go to Mork or Keepers cottage both Chepstow way and pay £9 per 50 clays, Good Targets Seem to be the same price at the Valley near Shoe, just off the A420(Petes). I think Siston common is about £11 per 50 clays, but not my cup of tea. Clay Cafe on the Weymouth road is approx £25 per 100 clays and they are really good targets. I do Beating at Biddestone, never new there was a clay shooting club up there Spaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there still a clay shoot at St.Michaels over wyre? also heard there is one in Woodplumpton but i've never noticed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy75 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Small world - a relative of mine owns Home Farm where the pheasant shooting is in Biddestone I have had a few gun days there but not much recently. My father is a fully paid member though £12 for 50 birds and cartridges on my cousins shoot near Malmesbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Webber - where is Stan's - Lyndale? Toplands Farm at Woodplumpton - decent 50 bird shoot. Skeet range. Felt wads. Good, cheap food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
