Richard's Diary...................JJ's Shooting Ground

This week's tour took me to JJ's Shooting Ground in Darenth Woods, Nr Bean, Dartford where I met with one of the owners Mark West. JJ's has been open since 1986 and run by Mark's Dad John with Mark coming on board about 5 years ago to help run the shoot.

The shoot is set in 16 acres of woodland with a natural bowl at it's centre and offers an excellent range of English Sporting targets which are changed on a daily basis so there's always something different to shoot at.


They are open four days a week, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 10.30am to 3pm & Sunday 10am to 2pm when they hold their regular Competitions. There is also a number of additional Thursday's they can open during the year so on the last Thursday of each month they hold Frantic Thursday where you can shoot as much as you want for a set price of £40pp for a half day or £70pp for a full day's shooting with free tea and coffee and a cold buffet thrown in.............sounds perfect to me and great fun with a 2 man flush operating all day!


One of the Club's Instructor's Dave kindly showed me around the ground and I took the opportunity to have a go at a couple of clays on each stand which was great. The firing positions are set within banks/dug-outs which adds to the whole experience and feels more natural than being in a metal stand.

So if you haven't tried JJ's before I'd thoroughly recommend a trip down there. Give Mark a call on 07771 507851 or check out their website www.jjscsc.co.uk for more information.

Lastly I'd like to thank Mark & Dave for their time and hospitality and I hope to get back there very soon.
