Gordon R Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Blaser F3 should be along soon - he lives up there and knows all the grounds. Top lad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) There's crabtree clay shoot which is OK. Open Saturday and Wednesday I think. Also Mike (blaserf3) goes to one near Penrith. Don't know much about it though. He'll be along soon I bet with some good suggestions.

Paul1440 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Penrith & District at Bowscar just off Jn 41 of the M6 does mostly DTL with a few Sporting and ABT shoots I've also hear tha Carlisle and District GC either are or very nearly ready to re open with a sporting ground at Greystoke just to the west of Penrith. Is westlands at Annan still going? Edited November 27, 2016 by Paul1440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Westlands at Annan is a very good ground with decent targets. I had one no bird out of one hundred clays, the whole ground has been revamped recently. I have not tried Greystoke near Penrith so I know nowt about it.

robmiller Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Be interested to see if the greystoke one will open! That will be more than ideal! Anyone know who I can contact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I did hear Greystoke was closing. Bowscar sporting layout is very limited, comprising of around three stands last time i was there; they're mostly geared up for DTL or ABT. Burneside is also closing but the best of all by a long way is Crabtree. Very good sporting layout plus DTL and flushes etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastair0903 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 When I am in Cumbria and want to got shooting clays I always find a trip to Coniston shooting ground is hard to beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targets have been made too easy now that just Jonty is setting them up, Bill put a good layout on when Jonty was on holiday. It's funny really, when Jonty set them up a couple of years ago they were much more difficult, DTL has gone, not enough people using it, it's a sport trap layout now. Tea and coffee is still free though. Edited December 5, 2016 by BlaserF3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandango Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Watch hill at Newton arlosh near Wigtown Cumbria is a good ground, not sure when it's open though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
