Richard's Diary............Atkin Grant & Lang Shooting Ground

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Atkin Grant & Lang's Shooting Ground in Markyate, near St Albans, Hertfordshire to meet with Charlie Stewart-Wood and Luke Roberts, Director and Shooting School Manager respectively to discuss becoming a CPSA Registered Ground.

Atkin Grant & Lang have been making best shotguns & rifles since the original company of Stephen Grant & Joseph Lang was formed in 1925 and more recently opened their shooting ground within the last 12 months.

The shooting ground which is open 6 days a week for practice & lessons (closed Mondays) occupies an attractive woodland setting over approximately 50 acres of Hertfordshire countryside and it is clear that a lot of investment has been made in the sporting layout with gravel pathways, smart new fencing and substantial timber stands with the electronic Promatic Claymate system which features a solo delay enabling shooters to practice alone if they wish.



There is a substantial Clubhouse on site with a reception area and the all important Gun Shop and of course the Gunsmiths and I understand the intention is to replace this with something even bigger and better within the next couple of years!

The sporting layout offers an excellent variety of targets with 10 new stands and includes a high tower and a traditional stone butt offering realistic grouse flights from fast incomers to wide crosser's and work is currently underway to expand the number of new stands available to shoot.






I'm delighted to welcome AGL on board as a registered ground and they intend to hold their first CPSA registered competition in April so please keep an eye out on our website and in Pull for fixture details.

It was great to meet Charlie, Luke and some of the team and for more information please don't hesitate to contact them on 01582 849382 or via e-mail on info@agl-uk.com or visit their website www.agl-uk.com
