Dakers Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Finally got my first gun and was hoping to take it out this weekend to christen it. (And also my first ever outing on my own!) I had been intending to try and visit East Barnet Gun Club on Sunday morning, at the suggestion of Bakerboy, but I might be in Cambridge now instead. Has anyone got any recommendations close to there to save my doubling back on myself? Thanks! Edited September 19, 2014 by Dakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Go to Cambridge Gun Club, they are very friendly there! It's near Cottenham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutron619 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Go to Cambridge Gun Club, they are very friendly there! It's near Cottenham +1. Used to go there regularly before my son arrived, when I was still rich enough to break clays.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutron619 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) You should work harder! Appreciate the sympathy Dave... We do alright, but I can't eat a clay, broken or not. Got to put my efforts into shooting some real birds and making lovely pie. Edited September 19, 2014 by neutron619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy518 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 +1 for Cambridge gun club. I'm a member there, just goes to show they let anyone in. They have done loads to the place relandscaped and are putting in lots more stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakers Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks everyone, might give it a go. It'll be my first time unaccompanied to a ground so not sure of the protocols etc. I had a quick search, but if anyone has any tips for any newbies not to stand out so much, please shout :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua1993 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I may have to have a wonder their one day too. I've haven't been clay shooting since Lakenheath closed! Does Cambridge Gun Club get busy during the week? I use to love going to Lakenheath during the week and break a few clays, as I'm not overkeen when it got busy at weekends.

ozzy518 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Weekdays are fine. The place is big enough so it won't seem crowded. Make sure you have the mega breakfast in the cafe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakers Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation. Very true about how friendly everyone was. Not sure they'll be on here, but big thanks to Ollie and his dad Andy, for being super friendly and taking me round with them. Nice to meet people prepared to be kind to the newbie!

ozzy518 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I was there yesterday . Lots of work going on and when it's finished the place is going to be really good. There is going to be an indoor air rifle range as well as out outdoor rifle range too. Lots of new stands too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
