GET SOME MUCH NEEDED PRACTICE IN READINESS FOR THE NEXT GAME SEASON.

On Saturday 01st September 2018 we were back into the nice weather, although the wind was a bit gusty at times. But that is all part of shooting.

35 guns turned up to shoot, including some of the old regulars who had been absent recently.  Not everyone turns up for the 12:30 start now, so the groups are more spread out and there is less queuing.

The lack of rain is also keeping the ford low, not that there are usually many issues with it if it gets higher. But some people need reassuring. 

NEXT SHOOT 15/09/18  STARTS 12:30

The shoots will  continue to be held every 2nd Saturday right through the year. New shooters will receive a mug listing the shoot dates for 2018 (if there are still any left).

The shoot is held over 6 Stands offering a variety of targets, using Standard, Midi, Rabbit and Battue clays and are shaped by the features of the scenic ground. No two shoots are the same.

The site is best approached from the Harpenden to St Albans Road (A1081) via Beesonend Lane.

Follow the Brown Fishery and Black and White Shoot signs down the lane for 1 mile. At the ford turn right and continue along the lane to the site. The short length of ford to drive through is only inches deep. The fishermen that come to the site never have any problems.
