Shropshire_Lad Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 While talking to a disabled shooter recently it became clear that it is not easy to find out which clay pigeon shooting grounds cater for wheel chair users. Please post your reviews here, think disabled ;-) atvb Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SidneyG Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 In my experience Premier plus does not guarantee accessibility I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I've seen a guy in a wheelchair at Coniston shooting ground doing DTL , I presume most trap disciplines are at a level footing, however it's the carparks that are very uneven at some grounds I've visited for ease of use with a wheelchair .

neil3728 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Park lodge while flat, its paths are made up from what looks like concrete railway sleepers, these are very uneven so would be difficult to easily maneuver a wheelchair around.
