JohnGalway Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Shot rabbits on the run at night with my lamp, people said that couldn't be done Can't imagine clays being a lot different really. If ya can see it ya can usually shoot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 id probly find it harder swinging a shotty with a lamp on it was a bit of a guess and some last minute shooting that did it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm Conor, fancy some night time clay busting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddypigsaw Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I've shot at night, at Lowes Lane as well, both floodlit and almost pitch black. Skeet and DTL were interesting and successful. Sporting was nearly impossible! I think they've put new flood-lights in since, all over the site. I found that you tend to overcompensate lead at night - giving it a bit too much. Still enjoyable though and a new challenge, which is always good.

Still enjoyable though and a new challenge, which is always good. The floodlight on the last stand wasn't even on when i shot the sporting and i was struggling to see them. We did a round of skeet and i got 15 and a round of sporting which i shot 27/50 on. Will be going again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismpullbang Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 its notts tho bit ruff round there they all have guns in notts Its right on the edge, you have to go a few miles out of town o get to it, really is a wonderfull ground, the guy who owns the place is great, huge guy that shows off by shooting a pair from the clubhouse door from the hip, thats a sight to see!
