Salopian Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Bloody good shoot. I really enjoyed it there last week. Hope 'salop sniper' doesn't shoot Salopians? Anyway Telford isn't Shropshire, it's more Greater Manchester Liverpool WestMidlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Good job I was born in shrewsbury then shame it wasnt wales, ireland or yourkshire. So where in county do you reside ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Nova Porteous, where the three fishes are on the coat of arms.Not far from the Pulestone Cross. I think they do a bloody good job at Rodbaston.If you ask the bloke that runs it, nothing seems like too much trouble. I like that crosser on stand 3, so satisfying to hit it and know that it can be hit.Surprisingly there are a lot of England and Wales shooters turn up there for a midweek dose of training.Very friendly staff.

Linus Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 20 Mins from my house,spose there is someone to show me the ropes Is it just wednesdays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yep theres a coach on site with a stand soley to for people to learn on ! He has all the kit and a range of guns to suit all. Pete is the chap who runs it and a great guy he is to, iv known and been shooting with him now for a while. Also a BASC coach / instrucor and rep ! And yes wednesdays only . Stand 3 is a good stand and everyweek i have differnt results on it, first time i shot it i had 7-8 but last week ony 3 ! Must be me being silly and stopping the gun again. Stand 5 is my favorite with 6 normally being my worst. Well untill i moved out of my parents last september i lived in lilleshall so fairly local Wont be there this week as am on call for work :blink: although its much needed money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil smith Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Can you use semi-auto's there ? N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yes aslong as your safe with it and only use 2 carts ( no loading 3 in ) ! There were a couple a few weeks ago that had to be taken to one side and have the errors of there ways pointed out which did the trick. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver_pigeon Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Salop Sniper is right....Semi-Auto's are welcome....I shoot a Franchi SA there and no probs! Just be seen to be safe of course, and all will be well! It's a great shoot and easy to get to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil smith Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Went to Rodbaston this evening, £12 for 50 birds & had a good time even though I didn't do very well. Met some friendly faces who I used to work with a few years ago who were at the shoot, which was a bonus. Still fibre wads only. I will be there again next week & I think I might take the pump gun just for a bit of sport N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I know that Pete bloke who runs it - saw him at Catton Hall last Monday - I think he needs to coach himself from what I saw of his shooting - -- Must be that old Miroku he shoots - ask him about it and he will tell you the barrels are bent.

Salop Matt Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Pete is indeed a very good shot and has shot at a very high standard from what am told ! Iv spent a fair bit of time shooting clays under his watchfull eye and hes put me right on several occasions. A top bloke and also well known in BASC. I also work on the same site as him. I to will be shooting there next wednesday along with silver pigeon, her dad and my dad. From speaking to my dad there was a bloke there last week shooting very well with a pump ! Also look out for the curryed pork scratchings that were there last year ......... they were stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
