garjo Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 As per title, I’m relatively new to the area and need to buy cartridges. For those living in Staffs, where do you go? Any help appreciated. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Depending where you are in Staffs you could always try the local clay ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCB56 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 TFM Penkridge or any TFM do a good range and good prices if you buy by the slab, and as old'un says a local clay ground ie. Millride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Again, depending where you are in Staffs there is http://www.shootingsportsuk.co.uk/ on the A5 about 1-1/2 miles west of Gailey Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) Garlands Shooting Ground at Edingale has a good selection only game as well as clay cartridges. Livens at Burton on Trent less so. Edited December 15, 2023 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Try Oakedge shooting ground too. It's over 12 months since I was there, but they had a couple of offers on cartridges. Eastfield guns is a newish venture, Matt Morgan late of Premier Guns is running it. Again 12 months ago, I got some Hull Superfarts at Wisemans at a good price. IF you can ever get to Catton Hall at Frodsham on a Wednesday, PM me. I will give you a phone number to contact. He shoots at Catton Hall on Wednesdays and sells cartridges.

old'un Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 ok, got it wrong, he goes to a clay ground at ‘The Microlight School’ about 3 miles east of Lichfield, he said they are a nice bunch of lads and will make you very welcome, they shoot every Sunday but have not been able to shoot because the river Tame burst its banks and flooded the grounds but should open shortly….https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/The+Microlight+School/@52.6781599,-1.76364,7205m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x487a07a7bba3ffe5:0x9aa7095af3c1eaf4!8m2!3d52.6734921!4d-1.7233533!16s%2Fg%2F1td607qf?entry=ttu He did say the other one to look at was...https://www.blackbrookcountrysports.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I bought a gun from Matt and I didn’t know that he had moved, he’s a decent bloke.

I need to get back into my shooting, I’ll try Oakedge next week and then the microlight school. I miss not just the shooting but the banter as well. Take care.

Westley Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I forgot about Doveridge too, they often have offers on cartridges. Of course they also have an excellent on site shop,Premier Guns, and a resident Gunsmith famed for his adjustable comb jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manthing Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Wynnstay in Stafford but I live in Stafford so it's handy. I shoot every other Sunday at Farm Clay Ground at Penkridge and there's are £7 iirc for Rios. Oakedge, Doveridge, TFM, Shooting Sports Uk and been told there's a place that's part of a post office/petrol station north of Eccleshall that's worth a visit. Croxton rings a bell, think there's also a shooting ground up there. Depends where in Staffordshire you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 If you’re in Lichfield, Garlands should be close a worth a look. Well stocked, wide choice and decent prices….and a good shooting ground too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solware is in Tamworth and has a huge selection of everything but as said already you have mid counties blacking just out the town centre on Britannia park.

garjo Posted December 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Just to feedback (after using up my stock of cartridges) I bought some cartridges. I might need to shop around more, I was surprised by how much they had gone up. The last time I bought some must have been two years ago. I might pop over to Garlands to see if they’re cheaper. Thank you for all of your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
