Clay pigeon shooters from clare/galway?

shannonpowerlab

Hello,

I was wondering where would people go to have regular practice sessions at reasonable price in Clare / Galway area...?

I see a number of paces listed in ICPSA website but most of them seem to be closed on weekends and usually they are only open to competition shoots...I suppose it would not be viable as a full time businnes venue...

Then...where do people practice....? Only at competitions...?

Ennis, Esker and Ballinasloe - all open for practice. Ring them for details.

Is that the Doonass Clay pigeon Shooting Club?

I had a bit of chat with the owner there a while ago. I have not been there yet...It is a bit of a drive from where I am but maybe easier that gettign to Ballinasloe...

Yea, Sundays suit much better as I rarely get back home before 7pm on weekdays.
