Catamong Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Paulos, I've shot all 3 grounds, in my opinion Kibworth is the best, good testing (but not silly) targets, nice clubhouse with gun shop attached, also you can shoot skeet & DTL as well as Sporting. I have heard that Kegworth has improved over recent times, but I don't think they now do Registered shoots..??, so that might be worth a visit, Grange Farm is in my opinion a depressing place, right alongside a massive industrial complex, traps are frequently knackered so that no two targets are ever the same, lots of walking involved between stands, but ground is generally flat and featureless, lots of rotting straw bales around the place. I have vowed not to go back there, I'm sure they won't miss me...!! Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Cat - Kegworth - don't dress it up - tell us what you really think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Gordon, I'm no tranny - dressing up is not my scene, the guys that run Kegworth deserve top marks for trying hard to build up the shoot, but don't forget that Paulos wants to shoot REGISTERED Sporting shoots, and those same guys seem to have opted out of running registered shoots. I don't know why, as I said I've not been there for a while and perhaps they've got very good reasons for not wanting to run things the way that the Moguls down South in Bisley want them to..?? I say again, if you want to shoot fair registered Sporting targets, the best ground out of the 3 mentioned is IMHO certainly Kibworth. Cat.

paulos Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 cheers for that kibworth it is then! im a little jealous that there are that many registered grounds down that way that there is a choice, apart from selection shoots, there are next to no registered sporting shoots up north! still, thats what cars are for.

Catamong Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Paulos, Let everbody know what you think about Kibworth, after all, those are only my opinions based upon my own experiences, so I would welcome comments from others, and if you fancy a good ground to stop off at on your way down, try Doveridge, superb targets..!!
