KB1 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I work near here often, and thought of trying this place. Anyone recommend or otherwise? Oops, looks like I posted in the wrong threadđŹ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Itâs an ok ground and worth a visit if youâre nearby. The facilities are brilliant and the targets are fine if youâve never been before, 12 or 13 sporting stands with a good mix of targets.  Normally a reasonable driven pair if youâre after that.  All the stands are in the woods so a bit of shelter from the wind at this time of year. Think itâs 32p per clay for a non member, so a little bit expensive. They use the Laporte Longrange system with a variable delay so easy place to shoot if your on your own.

I'll give a try, especially as it's sheltered woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Iâd go with what has been said already. Very relaxed - You get your card at the reception, on which you can charge drinks, food, ammo and clays to, then settle-up at the end... or pay for it all individually, of course. Thereâs a great variety of targets from skeet to various simulated game - a couple of entertaining bolting rabbit stands, too. Cartridge prices are based on Justcartridge price list, I believe.

I've not shot at that ground so can't give you a like for like comparison.  There are a number of good shooting grounds within an hour of Kirkcaldy if you have time when you're up here, but Cluny is certainly worth popping into if you are close. Even if you don't have your gun with you, but have your ticket, you can rent a club gun for ÂŁ10 if I recall and get a box or two of squibs.  It's actually worth popping in for a cuppa or a bite to eat as the clubhouse has a proper dining room as well as a coffee/snack bar.  Typical pub style grub in restaurant and not too expensive. If i'm not working i'd happily bring my gun down for you to have a boom with, despite any potential disagreements about walls đ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clay ground and country store are run by brothers, but independent of each other. In Kirkcaldy there is a shop called We're Game, you will find them on Facebook, and Andy who runs the place is always good for a blether.  Just a wee shop, but he sometimes has some interesting stuff, last time I was in he had an 8 bore that was a great brute of a thing.

Stonepark Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I've shot both grounds, (though admittedly Worsley was 10 years ago) but both are similar with a similar quality of targets.

Browsing's a bad idea for me.  Too tempting𬠠I currently have 6 guns, and only the 725 has seen the light of day this past couple of years.

Perazzishot Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Will support everything grrclark has said above, saying that I shot it just before Christmas and a couple of really tough stands have been added. We're game always worth a visit especially if you have wad of cash in your pocket đ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have I and I agree with the similarity. The grub at Cluny was as described too.  No chance of shooting anyone else' targets either !
