Very nice little club and quite "testing" targets. Access seemed pretty good also Mathew !

IPS I forgot to tell you that it is just practice at the NCSC this weekend.
As Saturday looks the better day I think I will head to A1 and maybe Southern Counties on Sunday (if I can get out of bed on Sunday...!!)

Hi Nicola
Thanks for info, not sure if I will be shooting on sunday, would have liked too but have got an eye infection. Right eye is now half closed and both eyes feel like theres a bucket full of sand in em. Antibiotics prescribed by GP dont seem to have done anything yet

Thanks for that,was going to ask about access. I was a lazy toad in the end and just had a bit of practice locally at Griffin Lloyd. Really need to pull my finger out before long and venture down over the border again. Getting lazy.
P.s sorry about the double post, new phone is making an Arse of me.

i went ranton and it was great,nice folk and very cheap,and easy to get around.
Was at Ranton also on Sunday for the first time (shot like a knob though). Nice ground, nice folk and not to far away from home. The food and drinks are incredibly cheap (bring loose change) but no hot options which was dissapointing, especially as I missed breakfast in favour of hot pig when I got there.
Ground was well set up and has two DTL layouts (covered) and one ABT layout (uncovered). The single ABT layout meant that there was a bit of hanging around between lines but the clubhouse is comfortable. ABT shoots are limited to 50 bird due to the single layout.
Its obvious the ground focusses on DTL but has the occassional ABT, single barrel, etc which I will try to attend. The Staffordshire ABT Championships are provisionally booked in for 2nd June (50 Bird).
All in all a good day out.

Ha! Keep the excuses coming as I need all the help I can get. I agree they were tricky targets, particularly as they passed the distant hedge line/tree line. Couple of grass cutters as well?? Thought those had been outlawed in ABT?
On the positive note (forgot to mention earlier) they were good enough to reduce the entry fee for Harry (DT junior) which was most welcome.
Maybe see you there one Sunday?
