Al Buck Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 It's a shame as there is a shoot just above Chapletown ( 5 mins away at Wortley) but it is only open alternate weekends, and that is an 'off' weekend I'm afraid. Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of September is the Country Fair at Chatsworth, so some of the main clay shoots are closed due to this, unfortunatly I don't know of one off the top of my head that will be open. I'll ask at the gun club this weekend and if I do hear of any that are open, then I'll post on this thread. Sorry I can't be of any more help at the moment.

Hi Pete, Well went to Wooley Edge. Didn't realise you had to be there for 12.30 on the dot!! Not been to a set up like that before but luckily we arrived just in time!! Have to say the organisers could have been a little more friendly towards visitors and explain how it all worked but still it all went well in the end. It was very hard. Some very fast birds. The first stand was right down a hill side in a large stubble field with some very long high crossers that nobody was hitting. The stands did get bit easier from then on in though. I managed 29/50 other two mates got 6/50 and 10/50. Plus we took a lad who'd never shot before. He got 3! Lets just hope its not put him off. All in all it was a good day and once we'd broke the barrier with the guys we were shooting with they were very friendly and more than willing to offer out tips. Thanks for the suggestion as it was a good day. Would recommend it to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
