DAVE_B Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi Everyone, My wife and I are pretty new to the sport but having been getting out shooting both registered and non-registered shoots couple with lessons etc. etc. Loving every minute of the sport. We are based down in Buckinghamshire but find that we are going to be visiting East Yorkshire (Driffield) over the New Year break. I have decided to shoot the Registered ESP shoot on Sunday 30th December at Beverley CTC and wondered if there were any forum members who may be there and fancy saying hi and possibly sharing a coffee . We hope to get there around 10:30. Hope we might catch up with some of you, if not a heads up on the level of the shoot and the ground would be appreciated.

landyboy Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I will most likely be there or North of england for the 100 sportrap, very good ground, good food toilets wifi etc they are mainly a trap orientated ground but have been putting some sporting shoots on lately one was very tough one fairly easy and the last two about right ! usually nothing too rangey plenty of closer stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE_B Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 We made it to Beverley CTC to find a very warm welcome and a challenging series of 100 birds across 12 stands. Unfortunately due to the adverse weather recently the stands were all in the trap area which made for a lot of similar targets favouring the trap shooters (particularly the skeet shot, of which we are not, YET!). Having said all of that the series was fun and achievable and, although for us quite difficult, well worth the visit. There were a couple of very extreme targets, especially stand 11 which was a following pair of long distant teals which by the time we got to them was being badly effected by the windy. I made a complete mess of the stand but was heartened to see 8 other shooters manage only a couple of hits among them. I am not that knowledgeable but would say it is probably one of the best trap based Shooting Ground with multiple skeet, DTL undercover, and many many more trap discipline options. Sporting is a bit of an after thought but still very enjoyable. As I have said already, very friendly people both in the office and at the stands. Good food and very reasonably priced. If we were travelling through this area again we would not hesitate to visit again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
