originalgeezer Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Sporting Clay Shooting Buddy/ Buddies required, West Midlands. Having been shooting a while, over five years and now reached a plateau, I need to shoot a variation of shooting grounds, layouts. Shoot mostly at Oakedge, Shugbrough on weekends due to onsite trappers and several shooting buddies there already. But, my shooting buddies there don't wish to travel to shoot.. Sadly I know next to none local to me I know who shoot regularly, and have to try to find friends willing to get up early on a weekend, mostly Sunday's to come and trap for me. I am from Halesowen, which is near Stourbridge/ Dudley area. I commute a lot for work so closer the better but happy to travel ( as do travel to Oakedge ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalgeezer Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Kenholland. Yes I know those, and others but looking for someone, people to regularly shoot with like I have at Oakedge.... I have been having to ask non shooting friends to trap, on a Sunday they mostly want a lie in :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren 67 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi Originalgeeze, have you tried Forhill? Not far from junction2 m42. They have a web site and are open every other Sunday. Friendly bunch and someone will always let you tag along with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalgeezer Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 If you had said would of met ya at shrugbourgh I am trying to get away from always shooting there hence the need to spread my wings which I will do over next couple of weeks. Hi Originalgeeze, have you tried Forhill? Not far from junction2 m42. They have a web site and are open every other Sunday. Friendly bunch and someone will always let you tag along with them. Darren, I am in Halesowen down the road - not tried Forhill to be honest but have found it on the internet and is well placed in terms of location. Hi all i went round Redditch HWSG last week nice place and on a plus hit a few clays Yes, I have shot there once a good while back, nice setting there....

sterling Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Originalgeezer - somebody may have mentioned it and I missed it while skim-reading but have you been over to "cross-guns" at Kinver? Cracking sporting layout only 5 miles or so from Stourbridge. Runs on a Sunday, 60 or 100 bird and there's plenty there to challenge a good shot. I haven't had the shotgun out of the safe for a long time and it's been even longer since I've shot clays though. I spend my time deer stalking and rabbit shooting, so I'm a rifle man at heart [read: **** with a shotgun] but I'd be up for meeting up there with any of you folks if you fancy a change of scene. Feel free to send a PM if you want to see someone who is really on a "plateau" with a shotgun. I can manage to press trap buttons fairly consistently though.
