ehb102 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Anyone coming to the semi auto shoot in Northampton? I've been trying to get to one of these for ages. Even bought a semi auto for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Sorry I have to work but Graham is going along. Shoot well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullard83 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I`m going. I try to go to all of them as it`s a fun shoot with up to 3 targets in the air. They do have targets suited for everyone & I struggled a bit on the last one, but then again I have only shot clays a few times this year. Dan.

Danger-Mouse Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Sounds like a fun event. Would love to have a go but can't really justify the cost atm, maybe next time. Have fun if you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to just do the one in September, but now do the extra one in October as well. Shame they don`t hold more & I`m not aware of anywhere else locally that does a sporting semi auto event letting you have full use of the gun. I`m booked to go out on the 10:45 squad.

Dan I'll have to do some research and see if I can find any nearer to me. Northampton is a 1.5 - 2 hour drive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite helpful & will probably able to get you in. I`ve even had last minute extras added to our squad, I`m sure you could even join us if needed. 13 hours ago, Mr_Nobody said: I'll have to do some research and see if I can find any nearer to me.

It's the cost, with cartridges, petrol and entry fee it's going to be close to £100 and I can't justify that right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that, in fact this is most likely going to be my last one of the year. We split the cost down, by sharing the journey & going halves on a slab of cartridges. Dan.

On occasion I have managed to turn all 3 into dust, but also turned just the one into dust 🙈 all part of the fun though & the chance to empty all 3 shots in quick succession Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehb102 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Sorry, I spent the day trying to get my semi auto work. Now a spare slot at 10.15! Northampton are excellent at slotting folk in last minute. Most flexible ground I know. Call them. 01604781741 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteches Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 This sounds like fun I will have to get my semi auto working for next year! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullard83 Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Do it ! It`s certainly a fun clay shoot. I go with a group of mates & we just have a laugh & don`t worry about the scores. We also usually bring out .410 etc to have a warm up/down on the skeet range too. Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
