    I think it is 7.50 per box of cartridges you fire it's shotgun only no rifle and the layout changes every week.
    Open Friday evenings and Sunday mornings.

    Not great roads tbh especially this time of year (tractors/contractors/silage etc)
    But if you come thru abbeyleix your adding a fare distance to your journey
    But direction wise your fairly bang on.if your close to the range and are mad for a few shots, I'll head up with you and you can use my o/u
    The range insurance will cover you

    Was wantin to go with one of the lads just to do some shooting really i wouldnt think my parents would let me go shooting with the rifle and a friend and it wouldnt be a good idea anyway with someone unlicenced if somethin was to go wrong.

    Was hopin it was like some of the other clay shootin places where they give uh shotgun cartridges etc.

    I know someone who definatly dosent have a gun that goes there every sunday morning but someone must give them a lend.

    May save up for my own shotgun for next year i suppose.
