Duckman91 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 hi all. jus shot kelbrook shooting school today. didn't shoot very well but I haven't been shooting long. I was on my own so used the time delay got on with it ok. the main problem was I didn't have a clue where the stands all were. I suppose ill find my way round better the second time round. anyone else shot there and found the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 The stands are easy to find its who's clay is who's is the main problem. On a busy day there can be lots of clays in the air and finding which one is yours can be a task. But, still one of our favorite grounds.

Del T Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Me and the wife had some lessons there when we were starting out and after that we went about once a month. Now we have a 5 month old who comes shooting everywhere with us. We haven't been to kelbrook for about 6months. The only reason is because we need the facilities to be better, eg better brew cabin to feed him and some decent loos where the Mrs can change him. Its over an hour away for us so its not fair to shoot then drive back without sorting the wee man out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowchaser Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I recently shot at Kelbrook for the first time. I enjoyed it despite my low score. It's a little far to travel to on a regular basis so it'll just be the odd occasion for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marktattoo Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Do like kelbrook, the main problem as already been said, basically some of the stands are to close together so you can end up with numerous clays in your sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ggun Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi All, new to the forum and clay shooting, a novice of 6months, just got my licence and purchased my first gun and itching to try it out thinking of going to Kelbrook tomorrow. Anybody going I could tag along with? Cheers Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ggun Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just got back from Kelbrook, cracking place and really helpful, went round on my own as not many people there but was ok with the solo delays. Happy with my new gun hit more than I missed! Happy days!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedubu187 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I was at Kelbrook today, the first time out with my own gun, released quite a few clay pigeons back into the wild with no damage to them. I must admit I hit one clay that wasn't mine but was soon put right by a couple of lads there. Had a good day until I went to put everything back into the car when I locked my keys in the boot, had to get the mother in law to drive over from Clitheroe with my spare set and then take her out for lunch. Had a good day though and will be back for more next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktattoo Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Was there today, myself still trying to get to grips with my auto, can see it having a long holiday in the cabinet, stick to beretta o/u get on better with that. The auto in time I can see getting traded in against another o/u for field work when funds allow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Was there today, myself still trying to get to grips with my auto, can see it having a long holiday in the cabinet, stick to beretta o/u get on better with that. The auto in time I can see getting traded in against another o/u for field work when funds allow Can I suggest that you give your auto a fair chance before binning it. I shoot an O/U for clays and my auto for pigeon shooting. A couple of weeks ago I used my auto on clays and shot badly. This is a gun that I average 2 for 1 on pigeons with and would not consider any other gun for the job. Problem is the auto is a lot lighter and takes a deliberate effort to keep it moving, especially on crossing type clays, not a problem that I have with pigeons, just clays. My O/U is almost 1lbs. heavier and that keeps the swing going. Rather than switching guns for the same type of targets, try keeping each gun for it's specific purpose, you may find the transition easier than you think. Used the O/U on clays this morning, dropped very few. Those I missed were down to my gun start position and lack of concentration, NOT the particular gun being used.
