Badf1shman Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hi guys, just received my sgc and bought my first gun :-) I am a complete novice to both shotguns and gun clubs. Any recommendations of friendly clubs/grounds to get me started? Also a brief explanation of club etiquette would be helpful lol. I'm based I'n Ashington but don't mind a drive!

jonthebrit Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm still waiting on my cert but I've been having lessons with my daughter at Bywell. Well worth a visit and a good variety of setups to try. Still learning myself so not much else I can add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Take some lessons at Bywell or Steve Smiths Shooting Ground at Dinnington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Widdrington Gun Club, local, cheap and lots of advice. Shoot Sunday morning and every other Wed in the summer. The secretary of the club is a mod on here (he needs a real job). Shaun4860. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still learning myself so not much else I can add I think I may have had the pleasure of your company at Bywell and a good suggestion from you to someone new to the sport.
