glb8686 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Batley, Greetland, Otley, Homefirth, One near Wyke/brighouse. I'm not sure about leeds as i'm not from that way but that should get you started. I'll dig out some websites for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glb8686 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Only 10 min from me also. My father said it used to be a friendly shoot years back so probably worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexikia Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 http://shooting.parklodgeshootingschool.co.uk/ Hi Try above, straight down M62, not too far from you. Lovely place and you can practice on your own. The traps are remote controlled and you can operate them yourself with a timer. There are around 15 or more traps, some easy, some hard with 2 high towers. Also Skeet and DTL, about 4 or 5 Skeet. I have been a few times usually thursday or friday morning, hardly any one there. You just turn up and sign in, they give you a plug in device whcih counts the clays you fire off. It was 13p per clay late last year. Only been open a couple of years. I travel from Sheffield and it takes me about 40 minutes Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glb8686 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 22p a clay now I think. Ill be there tomorrow early aff! Also will hopefully be at Batley this sun also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glb8686 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 No reply from Batley, may have to give them a bell tomorrow as I fancy a shoot in this snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza9t9 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Try park lodge in google. It's open Wednesday to Sunday. I have had a few lessons and shot on my own and I cannot fault it. I live in Wakefield, takes me about 30mins to drive it. As I work shifts and only getting one weekend off in 3 I find it handle able to nip down mid week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
