Bank Holiday Monday 25th August

Open for airgun from 9 as usual, open for clays from 10:00 until 3pm

Could we kindly ask airgun shooters to refrain from parking on the road / grass or blocking the gates on a morning please.
We have had a number of complaints from local residents about the dangerous parking / near misses.
We open the gates approx 8:45 for a 9am start for airgun shooting so if you are arriving earlier than this and there are already cars at the gates please continue on and park in one of the lay-bys further up the road until we are open.
Nobody wants there to be an accident and we need to be able to access the gates to open up.

LIMITED SUPPLY
RWS Large & Small rifle primers in stock

Just a reminder to anyone coming today that if you are onsite before the roads close at 8:30 you will be able to shoot straight away… after that you will not be able to get onsite till about 11:30
Some road closure signs are already up so please drive round them

Just a quick reminder for customers!

When using the layouts, if a trap should fail to release a target there can be a number of reasons for this. Usually it is a problem at the trap end and if it has taken a credit from your card then the buttons are working. Please refrain from pressing it harder as this only serves to break the rather expensive handsets as they are not designed for repeated hard pressure on the front.

Pictures for reference of a handset that has failed for this reason.

Sunday 13th July

Unfortunately, Run-through Events have decided that they are going to have a Newcastle Half Marathon on the above date which is going to result in the road being closed passed our business.
The road closure states 8:30 – approx. 11:30

Anyone wishing to attend on the morning will need to be onsite by 8:30 with our section of the road being re-opened approx. 11:30
Same as last year we will be starting shooting from 8:30 (Airguns & Clays) for any customers who have arrived before the closure.
