AaronB972 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi All! I'm looking at starting clay pigeon shooting, tried it a few years ( 5/ 6 ish) ago and really enjoyed it but wasnt in the situation to take it anyfurther, i'm looking for any recommendations of friendly clubs / grounds in the nottingham/derby area ( i live pretty much on the border between the two) where i can have lessons - I have already been in touch with one club who shoot twice a month and am looking forward to going along to thier next shoot, but was wondering where else is good if i get the bug to want to do it more often than the club shooting days! or if i feel the need for some more structured lessons. I have not yet applied for my SGC but will be doing so as soon as i can find somewhere to store/house any shotgun i buy, sadly i cannot have a gunsafe where i am currently living- so i was wondering if anyone knows of somewhere in my area that offers a gun storage service? I was initally intending on learning to shoot at orston where i had my first experiance shooting as i know they do advertise this service but i've heard that orston is not as nice a place as it once was as well as no longer lets you acomopany unlicenced shooter e.c.t. Thanks in advance Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 WRT lessons I would recommend (locally) Joe Neville at Tansley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batters90 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I can highly recommend Cockett Farm at Farnsfield, Pete Armett coached me when I first started and found him to be really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
