Admiral Von Tirpitz Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 A friend of mine wants to take up clay pigeon shooting but is not aware of any locations or shooting grounds in the Norwich area, or indeed Norfok generally. Does anyone know of any good ones, if so the name and locations. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk shooter Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Admiral, Try Mid Norfolk SG or Taz valley and of course Lakenheath isn't that far away straight down the A11 or even High Lodge down the A12. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Harnser, I took my first lessons at Mid-Norfolk SS from Mike Reynolds, many years ago, and shot there for quite some time. After I'd left Norfolk a few years ago, I recall that the ground at Deighton Hills was offered up for sale. I think Mike Reynolds was asking about £5m for the 80-acre site. Do you know if Reynolds finally sold it? Tirpitz, you may want to give the Mid-Norfolk SS a try, as it catered for Skeet, DTL and Sporting quite well. If Reynolds is still involved, he is a superb coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick , Mike reynolds and his wife ,as far as i know are still running the clay ground at deighton hills .I f you have not been there for several years then you will not recognise it . They have spent a lot of money on it ,new club house and hugh shop . It is know fully flood lit for night shooting .They did have a problem with complaints from neighbours about the noise ,so had to build up hugh earth banks around the place to combat the noise pullution .I did hear that the place was up for sale ,but i think that the deal went sour some how .

Baldrick Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I did go back there in about 2005/5, and was amazed at the development that had gone on. Mike and Lesley had built themselves a house there too, as well as a fairly respectable clubhouse. Certainly a welcome change from the condemned portakabin that had been masquerading as a clubhouse in previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexer Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I too had my first lesson there with Mike 5 years ago or so. I'm about 25'ish miles from Norwich and our local clay ground is Wayland Gun Club between carbrooke and shipdham. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
