andygardener Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Just set up some thick steel with some serious padding on your land and make sure your scopes well enough dialed in that there is no chance of missing by more than a few degrees and you're away. (leave plenty of room for the just in case though, at least 1/4 mile between you and neighboring land) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatDave Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I hear good things about Worksop - http://www.matterseyrapc.org.uk/ I'm not a member yet but when I can afford my FAC I'll apply. You have to stand 6 months as a prohibationary member (this is apparently the law, though I'm told this is sometimes waved if you're already a member of another shooting club) and the club will tell you how many supervised shoots (and likely club meetings) you have to attend in that time. There are a few shotgun clubs around, the one's I've attended are Sheffiled Muzzle Loaders's http://www.smlagb.co.uk/ which meet every first and third Sunday of the month at Owler Bar. They specialise in old fashioned muzzle loading guns but you're welcome to use modern breach loaders too. They have monthly (ish) full bore rifle and pistol shoots too, which they hold in Doncaster. Another option is Wortley Sporting Clays - http://www.wortleysportingclays.webeden.co.uk/ (WARNING: the website can be slow, and have a look at that "we are here" map. Are they about the best directions you've ever seen?) it's a large shoot held about twice a month (dates on the website) and it'll cost you about £20 to shoot 50 clays, which includes gun and shells and somebody to walk round with you. One of the guys who runs it is John Brown - http://www.brownslockstockandbarrel.co.uk/ in Hillsborough, so it's best to let him know before you turn up. He got me into shooting and sold me my first gun. They're very approachable and understanding for complete beginners like I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Where are they and what have you got to do to get into it all, any experts on here like to enlighten me The first question is, what kind of shooting. Air Gun, Shotgun, Full Bore Rifle, Air Pistol, Small Bore rifle .22. Game Shooting or Rough Shooting even. A sport for all kinds of folk, male or female as well. The clue is in my Avatar. Angel.
