PHers Clay Shooting Meet 2007 - Bisley

[tertius]

As a follow-up to last year's PH Clay meet at Bisley I propose a second event at Bisley Shooting Ground, located on Bisley Camp (home of the National Shooting Centre) - assuming of course that there is sufficient interest.

I'm planning to make a small change from the last time in order that the more experienced shots can get a bit more shooting.

This will mean that we'll have to organise ourselves into novice and experienced shots.

Other than that I expect it to be much the same as previously:

- weekend morning (actual date TBD, but thinking May)
- meet at the BSG clubhouse around 0900-0930
- shoot for 2 hours, perhaps with a little competition to finish
- adjourn to local hostelrie for lunch

Based on my discussions with Bisley Shooting Ground yesterday, cost will be around £79 for beginners (100 clays and cartridges plus tuition and gun hire if required, ie same as last year) and £91 for experienced shots (200 clays and cartridges and guide, as distinct from tuition, and gun hire if required).

Basically the difference is in the level of tuition expected and the degree to which the instructor/guide will push each group.

BSGs website is here: www.bisleyshooting.co.uk/
The National Shooting Centre website is here: www.nsc-bisley.co.uk/

Expressions of interest, questions and queries, all here please.

That was quick

I'm in. Saturday or Sunday but am away for the last 2 weeks in May. Obviously I don't expect people to arrange it around me but if it is around this time then I won't be able to make it.

Better make sure we all know which Fox this time!

[SpidermanUK]

I'm in!

Great idea re: novice/experienced.

What numbers do we need to make it viable?

Great.

Oh, just a handful for each group I think - four or five. More than that and we'll be split into groups of that size anyway.

[randlemarcus]

Depending on which weekend, am more than up for this.

[Saabyfox]

@ Tertius.

I would have at least 3 people willing to attend.

Yes please!

Depending on the date I'll be up for this (was busy last year) though I'm away for a week from the 15th. A Saturday would be easier but I'm open to both.

I've not fired a 12 for over 14 years so I presume they have a total novice/refresher course there? I may try and persuade my Dad to come along that way I can nick one of his guns - if not I presume they have guns to hire?
