iai4me Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hello, this is my first post, hopefully the first of many. I shoot at Coniston when i can get over. It is a very good club, clean and the setups are very good. Not the cheapest, but worth the money. - Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Does the onsite Hotel allow guests to bring and store shotguns for a weekends shooting/sight seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Nicky - decent layouts, but never seems like real Sporting to me. A series of mini layouts. Rishton is better. Mark and Eddie Threlfall change the targets each week and they are hittable. Nothing silly, but enough to challenge you. Food is very, very nice and cheap.

Nicky T Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys - i'll definietly add Rishton to the list of "must visits". Does anyone know Rishtons website or contact info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I shot the NOE Selection at Coniston a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a cracking shoot, but it would appear not everyone thought the same. Apparently a few AAA/AA shots were complaining that targets were difficult to see :blink: Although they cant have been that bad as most of said people were shooting scorers in the mid-high 80's.

Chard Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) I shot the NOE Selection at Coniston a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a cracking shoot, but it would appear not everyone thought the same. Apparently a few AAA/AA shots were complaining that targets were difficult to see :blink: Although they cant have been that bad as most of said people were shooting scorers in the mid-high 80's. Aaaaah, the elite :blink: They always complain when they have a bad score. The blame the ground, the target setter, the organisation, everything except themselves. They conveniently forget that all competitors shoot the same targets and some people CAN hit difficult targets. Their whining has made a load of trouble for my club at the moment, reporting **** to the CPSA etc :blink: Bunch of ****s Their definition of a good ground, is one on which they can score in the 90's. Anything else is **** apparently Edited June 26, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Rishton looks interesting i'll definitely check it out when a free weekend allows. Feed back on Coniston sounds very promising - looking forward to Wednesday even more now :blink: One day maybe i'll be able to moan about targets being too hard too :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonty Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Does the onsite Hotel allow guests to bring and store shotguns for a weekends shooting/sight seeing? Peter, yes, there's a gunsafe you can use at the hotel. It's also worth taking the fly rods as there's a cracking lake and a really great stretch of river you can fish. Coniston's a great clayground, they're currently having a new clubhouse built and extending the shooting to include several more sporting layouts and a ball trap. The old clubhouse is going to be recycled to provide a covered DTL setup. Edited July 26, 2008 by Jonty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
