Only 18 guns came to Redbournbury for the shoot on Saturday 27/04/2019, possibly falling victim to the poor weather forecast, with Storm Hannah due.

Several of those that did attend said how much they enjoyed the stands that made up this shoot.

Not everyone turns up for the 12:30 start now, so the groups are more spread out and there is less queuing. Now we can start looking forward to the days getting longer.

The ford remains low, not that there are usually many issues with it. But some people need reassuring. 

NEXT SHOOT 11/05/19  STARTS 12:30, last card 15:00.

The shoots continue every 2nd Saturday right through the year. All shooters receive a mug listing the shoot dates for 2019.

£16 for a 60 bird Sporting Clay shoot. £13 for a second round. SGC required.

NOTE: Fibre wad cartridges only, max shot size 7. Cartridges are available for £5:00 / box of 25. Can be bought in bulk (£50/250)(£200/1000) if stocks allow.

Shoot starts at 12:30, currently last ticket is 15:00. (Last ticket time extends to 16:00 with the daylight hours increased through Spring/Summer).

Safety Equipment must be worn: Hat, Safety Glasses, Ear Defenders.

Semi-automatic Shotguns: If not carried in a slip, a breech flag MUST be used. Only 2 cartridges are to be loaded when the gun is in use.

Safety Tape: Tape is used to mark off all areas where shooters MUST not cross. To do so could result in them being hit by other shooters.

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 on a flood plane, so can be wet and muddy underfoot, walking/hunting/welly boots are advised.
