Mable Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Sycamore Shooting Ground near Sheffield is running a Young Shooters Day on 20th July 2024. I know very few details as I'm on holiday at that time, but: I belive guns and instruction available at no charge and ammunition is discounted. Details car be found on that Facebook thingy or ringing Richard the organiser on the Sycamore number. Since Richard took over the ground keeps getting better, each week traps are changed twice. He's also open to suggetions if you want a particular bird shown as long as its before he sets the traps not after. Very few no birds now, last week just 1 in a 50 bird shoot.

There are plenty of volunteers to accompany the younger shooters so hopefully we'll have some new blood or at the least some more folk with an understanding that guns are not scary.

Westley Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 On 01/07/2024 at 08:45, Dave at kelton said: Great they are doing something for youngsters. More should do this! I think they do. I have been an Instructor for over 30 years and have done a lot of days for young shooters at various venues. I have also run 'have a go' days for several youth clubs, and Scout organisations. In the last year I have introduced 4 new shooters, including helping them to get their first gun. The biggest hurdle is getting the Shotgun Certificate and all that involves. I regularly see people that I started in shooting, at the various grounds I shoot at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
