nicknsd1978 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Does anyone know if the shoot behind Marehay Cricket Club in Derbyshire is still on? I think they had a shoot every other week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Do you mean the one at lumb farm? I've not been for years but I used to hear them shooting from my house, can't say I've noticed recently though. I'll have a drive by tomorrow and have a look. Wouldn't mind going myself.

nicknsd1978 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Ok that’d be great...from what I understood they stopped shooting at Lumb farm and now they shoot on some land behind the cricket club (I think). Don’t know where I heard about it but new to the area so it’s only 10 mins from where I live. Would be good if they did though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 That might explain why I haven't heard them. I'll pop by in the morning and have a look. If not, cocketts farm and Notts shooting ground isn't farm, or there is a little shoot at brassington. Where abouts are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labstaff Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Not too far to cocketts farm from there, or doveridge either. Welcome to the neighbourhood, even if you are the wrong side of the border! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknsd1978 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Wrong side of the border?...I guess your Derbyshire side. Not mover far, only from Nuthall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsalmons Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'm just up the road in Alfreton and Cockett Farm I find to be the closest. And theres a good pub just down the road after a shoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknsd1978 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 You get to go to the pub afterwards? I’m lucky just to get a pass to go shooting only let alone pub afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsalmons Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I drop the missus there before the shoot and then join her after. She gets on really well with the barman.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Which pub is that, white post? I used to like the plough a bit further down the road. Yup you guessed right, Derbyshire, inbetween heanor and Ripley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsalmons Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Its The Lion at Farnsfield and is just round the corner. Some good pub food but Sun is busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Is that the one before the plough? I've not been in there, next time I'm over that way I'll give it a try. I didn't get to drive by the cricket club but speaking to a farmer friend of mine in the village and he tells me it stopped as the locals moaned about the noise!

nicknsd1978 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Oh dear bang goes the idea of a shoot being 15 mins down the road...thought it was too good to be true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I bet cocketts ain't much more from Eastwood, 25 mins something like that. I've heard rumours of a little shoot at Stanley but I don't know anything about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknsd1978 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled. Just want to get the odd practice weekend in for the pigeon shooting (which I’m not getting around to doing) better when the light nights are here. Starting to shoot up at joe Neville’s once a month as a purpose to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labstaff Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 It's the right side of Buxton but cocketts is closer. Worth a trip out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan-H Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 There is a shoot just down towards Aldercar Fisheries (just off the A610) I've tried to find whoever organises it but with no luck. I go the Maggie's Den for breakfast most Sundays with the little one and we see them shooting alternate Sundays but I just can't seem to get the attention of anyone there. Might be worth a little digging to see who runs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako7mm Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 There’s a little clay shoot once a month on the A608 at Smalley. Will post the next date if I see the farmer whose ground it’s on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
