Deal and Sandwich Shooting School

24/03/2026

Easter open clay shoots are Saturday 4th, Sunday 5th and Monday 6th April.

Gates open at 10am for a 10.30am start. Last entry is 2pm. If you’re after 100 sporting, do please get here no later than 1pm.

The cafe will be open for hot and cold drinks, bacon and sausage rolls and snacks.

Good news is the decent weather recently means the ground is drying out well so you can leave the wellies in the car!

Remember. No plastic wads are allowed on our ground because of the danger they pose to wildlife and the environment.

Hope to see you there!
