Practical Shotgun and Fullbore clubs in NE England

#1 Post by Amber Dog »

Hi guys,

Does anyone know or attend a PSG club in the North East of England? Also, while I am here - might swell ask, does anyone also know of a full bore club that attends Ponteland?


Thanks in advance.

Balckstuff is the font of all PSG knowledge and he's in the NE.

Quiet a few clubs use Ponteland, the Barbican, the Louisa and three counties just of the top of my head.

CSAC (Carlisle Small Arms Club) shoot PSG near Brampton.
That's the nearest (and only) club that I know of. It has a good set up shooting through some woods.

As well as Carlisle which you only missed on Sunday;



The Mayfair Shooting Centre based in Sunderland runs PSG shoots at it's land near Pittington (type Hetton-le-Hill into Google Earth and it'll take you there). Next meet is 25th of February if you fancy it :good:

How . . . rude!! :55: :lol: This is what first place looked like actually :grin:

Next one at Carlisle is 11th March :good:

I do upload the majority of videos onto YouTube, just double click the video above and it'll take you to my all-action channel :lol: . It would be good if people taking videos around the country could upload them to a single UK PSG channel :flag13:

Thanks for this Mark, looks the bee's knees. I am at Mayfair currently but when I emailed Ray he said I can watch and that's all. Maybe as I am a probationary member for another month?

Think I will email Carlisle and see what they have to say.

Hmmm, Do you have an SGC? If so i'm not sure why Ray would say that. If you're literally just starting it might be understandable as you've got quite a bit more to think about with PSG than just plinking on the range. But it's his club so i guess you'll have to play by the rules for now.

If you want info about PSG at Carlisle email Vanessa Duffy at vduffy16@aol.com rather than the general club email address :good:

PSG is great fun - if a little muddy at times

Get on the Basic UKPSA course - you WILL learn LOTS and have a good laugh into the bargain

I met Mark through doing PSG, so it does have its downside I suppose :lol: ;) :55:
