Yes I guessed that much ;D
Where did you go? Expensive?
....although your brave posting it on here for when TB sees it. There'll be carnage.

It can be addictive, ::)

and VERY expensive .... shells, clays, club membership are just the start ... then you'll want the "right" clothing, glasses, and finally ... when you want your own gun ........ just how much do you want to pay ..... (and then the licence to own said gun, and the storage/security aspects) ... all adds up to an expensive hobby (that is however, bloody good fun :) )

West London School of Shooting, being London it was expensive, but work paid :D
We did 4 x 10 clays at different stands, then 30 clays, 3 people at a time, it was a 'mass shoot out'
I won though! Group of 15 of us, I'd never been before, score was out of 32, 8 best shots taken per stand, I got 28 8)

Have to disagree here, it's not that expensive, given what it is:
Shells? Well for around £175, gets you 1,000 shells.
Gun license I was told is £50, lasts 5 years. Basic CRB checks.
Membership at a rather posh place up the road, £275 for the year, which includes gun storage and discount at clays. Around £7 for 25
The biggest outlay is the gun, but buy second hand and like motorbikes, they don't really fall in value really.
Or just turn up and shoot, £55 gets you 50 clays, a gun, a tutor :)

My cousin goes pheasant shooting and is a member of a syndicate where they go to weekend shoots at big country estates like Lord Opti's ;).
Now that's so expensive that if you have to ask...... ::) :)

Im in two local shoots, alternate saturdays in the season (nov to end jan) beween them its about a grand a year all in, including keepers/beaters tips, and cartridges,
clays are about £15 for 50 locally plus cartridges, you dont have to dress up.

I have been clay shooting for years now it is NOT a dear hobby it can be though like any other pastime it is great fun and it does become addictive. :y Guns are not anywhere near as expensive as golf clubs unless you are like some on here very wealthy and can afford a boss or a Holland and Holland or a purdey ::)

Yes, but that's with a tutor, gun rental, ect.
As Kevin says it's not that expensive, the guns are cheaper than a set of golf bats! :o

My son is a member at Windlesham - very accessible for you as well.
-
As regards shooting I get to Holland and Holland at Northwood now and then which is pretty good. Mate of mine is really into it - spends a fortune on Olympic Trap. We had his 50th at Bisley Ranges also not bad but not as interesting as Northwood.

I like dem ducks at the fair meself like. :y

This place?
http://www.hollandandholland.com/ (http://www.hollandandholland.com/)
Prices look similar to West London, I thought my teacher was excellent, guess that is reflected in the price.
Have you got a link to Windlesham? I can't appear to find one :-\
Took me a while to get to grips with what is local, you have National Clay School think at Bisley, there also appears to be the 'posh' place in the same grounds? One is half the price of the other.
My drop you a PM for a bit of advice :y

Fair point, I pay £735 for 5-day, but do play about 3 times a week, plus matches, so per game it is reasonable. :y

One of those things that if you use it, makes sense. :y
Just making the point that shooting, is not as expensive as people (and I used to) think. :)

So tunnie went clay pigeon shooting,at some posh hoitey toytiy gun club,paid for by all of them sky subscription,. Not quite as bad as bankers bonuses,..
cant see point of it, why shoot something you can't eat, but then townies do strange things :)
-
Try it ;)
Why do people go play Golf? Can't see the point in that, spoils a good walk. :)
Some people go fishing, often they don't eat what they catch. ;)
-
Better still why do people spend 2k on an air rifle :o. Before scopes and divers bottles..
-
Shh she thinks mine was the usual £50,
I hope if I die she doesnt sell eveything for what she thinks I paid ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Is it a Daystate, because if his wife finds out, she will be in a hell of a state ;)
