Che_Nottm Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Hi All, Apologies for the duplicate post, I posted this in the clay pigeon section then noticed this welcome section, whoops! (mods may want to move/edit/delete?_ On a recent holiday my missus and I tried clay shooting up near Hull. We both really enjoyed it and I have mailed some gun clubs near us (Nottingham & Kegworth) to get more info on tutoring with an eye to getting into the sport Is there much of a scene in Nottingham? Any tips or advice anyone can give about these clubs or others I should be looking at? From the initial lessons the gun hire prices seem very reasonable and the cartridges too. On our lesson we only used a 20 gauge semi auto (think it was called Franchi or something like that) which seemed a really nice weight and we were suprisingly accurate with, hitting at least half of what we shot at on our first ever lesson, the fiancee even managed 5 out of 5 on her first ever skeet, I managed 4 out of 5 which I was well chuffed with ) I have to put that down to a really good instructor though! Hope to get some positive feedback from the clubs Cheers Che Edited September 11, 2008 by Che_Nottm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che_Nottm Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I probably didn't word the Hull bit that well did I lol, we stayed near Beverley (Bishop Burton) which was really nice. Got our second lesson @ nottingham on Sunday, cant wait Che Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che_Nottm Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi meinderby I mailed Jon a couple of times but he said he's really busy at the moment arranging a charity event. I was a bit impatient so tried a few other places and Nottingham (rufford) got back to me the same day and were really helpful so booked there instead Will see what the Kegworth clubs like though at some point I am sure as I live in Notts but work near Loughborough so drive through Kegworth most days.
