We shoot on Ellenrod Farm Milnrow, with the kind permission of the Marshall family. The club has the use of a field with a natural high backstop. It is only a short walk from the farm to the field. The shoot does not start until 10.00hrs. But we arrive from 09.00hrs. The charge you pay covers insurance, shells and clays. Shooting is from 5 cages with a separate cage for tuition or competition. Launching the clays, are 3 remote launchers and 2 mechanical launchers. The club owns o/u and s/s shotguns, for anyone to freely use. We sometimes also run a speed plate shoot at the same time. Shooting is in 2 halves; with a short break for refreshments (you bring your own). All participants share the job of setting up and putting away the shoots equipment. All new participants must go through a safety talk, before the shoot. If you own a shotgun, your licence will be required to verify its use.

We must now inform you, of Section 21 of the 1968 Firearms Act.

This says that if you have been incarcerated for between 6 months and 3 years. You cannot handle a firearm for 5 years. If you have been incarcerated for greater than 3 years. You cannot handle a firearm at all.

Now what you see above is the clinical information on our Clay section. What you see when you arrive though, is basically a group of fellow shooters having a laugh. They’re there for a pleasant morning and good company. We are not a serious club (except on safety) so expect a ribbing and a bit of humour. It’s not to say we don’t compete, we do. But it’s not the be all and end all. Everyone chips in, to help the meet run smoothly. This doesn’t work at times though, which is par for the course. It’s also well known the organisers are always open to bribery and corruption, (usually butties and bikkies!). Please remember the meet is run in a field and so the correct wear would be advised. There is a map available showing its location and the dates are also shown. If you wish to join us please e-mail us for further details. Click here for a direct e-mail link.
