We are in the process of creating a two lane out door Air Rifle range in woods at our clay pigeon shooting ground located at Astley M29 7EW. We are not quite ready yet and still have some work to do..

We already have a grassed area of 50 yards with significant backstop, which we intend to utilise for Rimfire. The two wooded lanes will be 25 Metre, and provisionally a 40 Metre.

We shoot Fortnightly on a Sunday. We are shooting this Sunday commencing at 10am. Whilst we will not be ready for Air Gunners, we would welcome some visitors to have a look at the potential that we have to offer whilst we listen to your suggestion for creating a great outdoor facility.

We have connections with the Norgas gun shop and will be offering free Air at the ground for participating shooters rifles.

Access to the ground is by following our signs and driving through the farm yard DEAD SLOW. No reccys before Sunday as you won't get access to the ground.
