Jurrasicway Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I normally just rough shoot and my wife has decided she wants to have a go at clays. Can anyone tell me how much I should expect to pay at a clay club if I just turn up with my own gun and cartridges and want to shoot 25 to 50 clays?

SXPhil Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 My Club charges £10 for members for 50 Sporting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Pay 15 for 75 at one ground, 25 for 100 at another and 28 for 100 at another. really depends what kind of club it is - ones held in quarries and on old air fields are generally much much cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Depends on where you go obviously, but it'll range from 15p per clay, to 40p. Edited September 22, 2009 by Peter De La Mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbuss Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 £20 per 100 sporting for members, £30 for non members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Garlands is my nearest, they charge £6 to non members, or £5 to members for 25 clays. SGC holders only though, non certificate holders have to have a 'lesson' which is about £25 for 25 clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutey Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Seems N Ireland is actually cheaper for the clays. £4.25 for 25 clays where I normally go, it's the same rate for skeet, dtl, olympic skeet and sporting. A couple of clubs I go to is £4 per 25 clays. Mind you it would work out a tad more expensive for you when you add on your flight or boat fares.

Mattw Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Your not that far from me, so I would guess your looking at sywell and barby? Sywell is my normal haunt, at about £7 for 30 sporting. Barby is about the same if I recall... Let me know if you find anywhere closer to Dav I might be interested to turn up!

Drives the young lad nuts. i am told its driven by health and safety. The young lad, who has been shooting clays with me about twice a month for the last two years, was not impressed with it. The traps are set up for the shooter to be as successful as possible. ( having said that he still missed one or two ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Southdown is now £29 for 100. So I imagine around £15 for 50. Pigeons are far cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covlocks Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Kibworth - I pay £20 per 100 - a respectable price as they have a good layout and good facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Has she shot before? If you just turn up and she shoots your 12? bore for more than 25 shots you will put her off for life.That may be a good thing?! Most grounds do a beginners/have a go with AN INSTRUCTOR it is worth it.They will not overshoot etc and gunfit will be taken into consideration. My guess for the above would be £30-£40 for a first lesson and IMHO is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurrasicway Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thanks for all the posts guys. Really helpful Yes she has shot before, it started off with a lesson at Kelmarsh at the start of the summer and then another lesson at Catton and then taking part in a pool shoot at a local charity shoot. She is well and truly hooked and now wants to go more regularly. She is getting bloody good too!!!! A good thing for me is that she does not want to shoot pigeons or game. I will save that for trips on my own with Archie (8 month lab). You can not really say I am going to do it and you can't so "a shooting we will go" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
