Ricko Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi Can anyone give me some shooting ground recommendations in the South Lancashire area. I have shot at N Wales SS when I lived near there and sometimes travel over to Worsley. Ideally I could do eith one that opens early on a Saturday. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) You say your from ormskirk which is not far from my house, these are the grounds that I travel to, Coniston, kellbrook and Fauxdegla shooting ground. These are open on Saturdays, there may be others but I'm unsure. If I had the time to shoot more on the weekends I'd travel further Edited June 21, 2014 by Willpoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoot and be safe Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 If you can do Sundays then Catton Hall is on this Sunday and there will be a few off hear going. If it's only Saturday then fauxdegla is a good place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mochastorm Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Catton Hall, Frodsham is open on Wednesdays for practice from 10.30am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Ended up going to Worsley for a session. Can't take it seriously with the number of stag dos there and men dressed in skirts. Got a couple of funny looks myself carrying a few different guns that I was trying out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzerG Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ended up going to Worsley for a session. Can't take it seriously with the number of stag dos there and men dressed in skirts. Got a couple of funny looks myself carrying a few different guns that I was trying out I don't bother going to Worsley on a Saturday for this very reason. I now go on a Wednesday evening with my lad. Nice and quiet and no mobs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) You have limited yourself somewhat by stating Saturday mornings. Most of the 'local' grounds are open on a Sunday morning. There is Ribble Bank (Webton) at Hesketh Bank, open on a Sunday morning, Altcar Rifle Range, Hightown, open for DTL and Compak on a Sunday morning and Catton Hall, Frodsham, open Sunday morning. You state 'early' morning, but most shoots do not start before 10am. (it's a noise issue). I too live in Ormskirk and if it has to be a Saturdy morning, then be prepared to travel. There is Worsley, Kelbrook, North Wales (Sealand)and Lupton, (M6/A65 junction 36, fibre wads). If you need any more help, PM me.
