Richard's Diary..........Manchester Clay Shooting Club

Following my recent trip to Fauxdegla Shooting Ground, I moved onto Manchester Clay Target Club where I met with the Club Manager Kate Grime.

The car park was full which for a Wednesday afternoon was a good sign and Kate explained that this was one of their regular discounted Veteran Class days and they always have a very good turnout which is excellent.

Manchester CTC is a CPSA Premier Ground located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, set in over 400 acres of picturesque woodlands and only just 20 minutes drive from Manchester City Centre.


 As you can see there is a substantial Clubhouse with Reception, Cafe & Conference Facilities and in the grounds there are over 50 stands to shoot from including 15 on the English Sporting layout with a 40ft, 60ft, 90ft & 105ft high tower to really test your skills!

They have also recently opened their new Skeet & ABT layout which I believe is proving very popular.


The Club also operates a Membership Scheme which gets you the usual discounts at the desk plus extra benefits like a free 100 bird shoot on your birthday (proof required I believe). Membership rates are Adults £70, Ladies & Veterans (over 60) £50, Couples £100 & Juniors (Under 18) just £15.

The Club run a range of lessons from Have A Go to Corporate days, Simulated Game days and 1-1 tuition so do contact them as I'm sure they can accomodate you.


I coordinated my visit with a seperate meeting and we had arranged to chat whilst we got some shooting in and I have to say there was an excellent variety of targets on offer and we must have been enjoying ourselves as before you know it we were the last two shooting!

They are open for practice on Wednesdays from 12.00pm to 4pm (2.00pm to 6.00pm during Spring/Summer), Saturdays from 12.00pm to 4pm and Sundays from 10.30am to 2.30pm.


Take a look at their website www.manchesterclayshooting.com for further information on this friendly Club or contact them on 07761 409427 or via e-mail on info@manchesterclayshooting.com

Lastly, I'd like to thank Kate for her time and hospitality and I look forward to getting back to the ground soon.
