roughshooter Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I seem to be shooting more clays nowadays and have a great little shoot near Evesham (Throckmorton) that I shoot fornightly where the stands change every time and it is very enjoyable. I am looking for another ground that has reasonably testing targets for the alternate week based in the West Midlands or Hereford areas. Any recommendations?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I find the CPSA a good place to start. https://www.cpsa.co.uk/events/search?regionid=2&disciplineid=&startdate=2021-09-22&enddate=2021-10-22®istered=&resultsorder=ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughshooter Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 There was a time when there were dozens of local little shoots that were good fun to shoot. Seems they have all but disappeared nowadays. Thankyou for that and I may head over to Doveridge as have been saying I would try that for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) I can recommend oakedge shooting ground visited numerous times when escaping from the mother in laws when we visit. it a friendly ground can be shot on your own ( delay button on trap release) some challenging targets down the bottom of the ground! they allow plaswad carts ! there is another close round some lakes but it was too busy for my liking last time I visited atb Agriv8 Edited September 23, 2021 by Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Worcester at Upton upon Severn should be right up your alley. Nice friendly local place. Good targets. A slight step up from throckmorton. But the same type of place with nothing too daunting. Check out their website. Search swsg. There's also a couple of good clubs out redditch way. Three lakes is one. Forhill just north of redditch is good too. Try also Cotswold shooting at childswickham . Not far from evesham . They open 1st Saturday of the month . Fibre only. Also give hailes fruit farm a try. Near toddington(?) Not sure of their days/ hours. Hereford and Worcester shooting ground at redditch is ok. . Adventure sports at wedgenock ( Warwick) is good too. All these are good nice friendly places . Probably all a step up from throckmorton . But not registered level . So possibly a good stepping stone. All have website or FB presence so you should be able to check them out , see if they're what your looking for. Any more info give us a shout. Jasper.

Thanks for that Jasper i have shot SWSG many years ago but haven’t been for probably 10 years…. Childswickam I have also shot but I understand that it is a lot better now than it used to be so definitely worth a try. It is probably 20 years since I have been to HWSG and was always put off as it seemed very clicky there but times change. I have t been to Advenyute sports or Hailes fruit farm so those are definitely worth a look. I have been doing Throckmorton one week and going over to Griffin Lloyd the alternate week but Griffin is becoming decidingly morning of late as targets never change sadly. Longridge is also very enjoyable but only on Fridays and Saturdays. some excellent recommendations there thanks Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper682 Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Childswickham is good now. Sean and Em lovely folk. Hwsg defo a bit clicky still. Longridge has back on Sundays now too. Cpsa registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
