cromwell7 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hi Been a member for a few years not really active though as I put shooting to the side for the last three years. Circumstances have changed and Im getting back into shooting, well clay shooting. I used to shoot clays at mendip shooting ground occasionally but I was thinking of trying some different grounds. I'm located in west wilts, also I shoot on my own so clubs with trappers would be a bonus Any recommendations ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny thomas Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 The valley shoot near Tormarton just off the m4 is really good as is bristol clay shoot but that may be a trek for you they both have Web sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) This one's the closest http://www.valleyclayshoot.co.uk/ but http://www.bristolclayshooting.com/ is worth a visit Edited April 23, 2015 by MartynGT4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromwell7 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks Both look like decent grounds Bristol clays have a site near land down race course which is closer. Whilst I've started a thread anyone had any experience with geeenfields of Salisbury for gun fitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Really? Are you sure? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromwell7 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sure? They're only shooting at the Huntingford ground at the moment mate. They did shoot at Upton Cheyney for a while last summer but they haven't posted any shoot dates for that ground this year, or at least not yet.

cromwell7 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ah right I see. There's a few places to try before they open open up at Upton cheyney Have you shot at brookbank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ah right I see. There's a few places to try before they open open up at Upton cheyney Have you shot at brookbank? No I haven't, in fact I didn't know there was one. You shot it yet? Got any details? Ignore that, just found the web page. Looks very decent! Bit of a trek from Chippenham though.

cromwell7 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 No not yet only ever shot clays at bisley and mendip shooting ground but I used to do a lot of rough shooting, But because of a change of job becoming a dad etc I'm going to start clay shooting as its more convenient for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Seems they have a no.6 shot size restriction, how weird! Seen a few places with a weight restriction and some where you have to use their carts but never seen a shot size restriction before. Ignore that, I'm being a tit. It was a max size restriction :lol: No not yet only ever shot clays at bisley and mendip shooting ground but I used to do a lot of rough shooting,But because of a change of job becoming a dad etc I'm going to start clay shooting as its more convenient for me Ah I see, good plan.

cromwell7 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Can't see a restriction on shot size only steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Can't see a restriction on shot size only steel? It's hidden but if you open up one of the shoots in the calendar it shows the following.. "Cartridge restriction applies Wednesday - Saturday at BB. Hull & Fiocchi brands only permitted, max 28gr weight, 6 max shot size - CPSA safety requirements. Plastic & fibre wads allowed." No great hardship really, think Mendip do something similar because of fear of noise complaints. Seems they're less restrictive at the weekends though.
