Anywhere to shoot clays?

JohnFitz2332

Hello! I was wondering if anyone in Limerick/Clare/Tipp knows of any landowners/farmers who let people shoot clays on their land? I don't mind using my local range, but I have a clay trap and I like to shoot a lot so figured this might be a more cost effective option.

Unless someone that owns land replies the only way is to go out and ask.

Clay pigeon shooting is not classed as target shooting so it can be done on private property/outside of a range and i've found, with landowners around me, that as long as you leave the place as clean as you found it they generally don't mind.

Hope you get somewhere.

Any bogs around? Or forestry

Hard to get permissions now compared to years ago.

All the places we used use we don't anymore as too many urbanite neighbours who moved to "the sticks" whinging to the landowners about "the noise" :mad:

Where abouts are ya?? If you shoot as much as you reckon you do might be worth your while renting an acre.. ****ty scrub land no use to anyone and give the farmer a few pound a year??

Pick somewhere that suits you and go about it.. long as you are away from any folks just rock on and keep it to yourself

or disused quarry - ideal!

Thanks for the responses lads. Is shooting on forest land legal? Do you need Coillte's permission? Similarly, can you shoot on a disused quarry without fear of AGS

Wherever you shoot you only need the permission of the land owner to shoot on it.

AGS (An Gardaí) won't bother you if you have land permission and are not acting the maggot.

Last time I had a Coillte lease clay pigeon shooting was specifically prohibited in the woods.
