Happy New Year to all members and supporters of the club.

We shall be holding a work party on Sunday 4 January.
We have 8 traps requiring repairs.
Could use a hand to plant some bulbs, small bushes and Willow whips ready for spring.
The Air Rifle range project is currently stalled due to lack of help and other matters taking priority.

Two shooting benches ready for moving to the shooting lanes once ground works are completed. More on the way.

Shooting table ready for wood preservation.
Getting ready for our Air Rifle Range

We are in the process of creating a two lane out door Air Rifle range in woods at our clay pigeon shooting ground located at Astley M29 7EW. We are not quite ready yet and still have some work to do..

We already have a grassed area of 50 yards with significant backstop, which we intend to utilise for Rimfire. The two wooded lanes will be 25 Metre, and provisionally a 40 Metre.

We shoot Fortnightly on a Sunday. We are shooting this Sunday commencing at 10am. Whilst we will not be ready for Air Gunners, we would welcome some visitors to have a look at the potential that we have to offer whilst we listen to your suggestion for creating a great outdoor facility.

We have connections with the Norgas gun shop and will be offering free Air at the ground for participating shooters rifles.

Access to the ground is by following our signs and driving through the farm yard DEAD SLOW. No reccys before Sunday as you won't get access to the ground.

Work Party Sunday 10 till 3pm.

Sundays shoot is cancelled due to availability of ground staff.
If you would like to get more involved with the shoot please contact John Webster.

We will hold a work party, plenty to do. 10am till 4pm ish.
