We offer Sunday morning Clay Target Shooting sessions to both South and West Yorkshire, non-member Certificate holders are welcome with no booking required. Only Fibre Wad Cartridges with a maximum 28g load and shot size No 7 are allowed.
Want to “Have a Go?” Our Section 11(6) Dispensation Certificate allows people aged 16 and over, who do not have Shotgun Certificates or guns to shoot with us, and we operate “Have a Go” sessions to allow Individuals and small groups the opportunity to experience the thrill and excitement of Clay Pigeon Shooting.
Early in 1954, a small informal shooting group started to meet regularly, their ultimate aim was to form an organised “Not for Profit” Clay Target Shooting Club, and they quickly established the Hemsworth and District Clay Pigeon Club.
Now as one of the oldest Clay Shooting Clubs in Yorkshire that is owned and operated by its members, successive management teams have respected the legacy left us by those original members, we still operate on a “Not for Profit” basis, and dedicated volunteer members work hard to make our club as cost-effective as possible, surplus revenue is used to expand and upgrade our equipment, this has enabled us to grow and modernise the club significantly over recent years.
