FT in Kent/Sussex

[Simonho]

Hi everyone.

Anyone know of a friendly club doing FT type shooting in Kent or Sussex?

I already know about Kent Woodsman at Ashford and will be contacting them - just wondered if there were any others??

I'm an ex clay shooter looking to do something quieter and more precise - and maybe get my 13 yr old Son involved.

Thanks in advance!

PS I posted this on the uk & worldwide board (No, I don't know why either! )and it was suggested that I might get more response from the general board - so here goes...

Don't know anywhere in Sussex, but do shoot at Kent Woodsmen.

Fairly friendly bunch, usually set out a 30 target course on Sundays, that most people shoot through twice, if they so wish. Score cards can be kept, scored on the HFT system, i.e. 2 pts for knockdown, 1 pt for faceplate, 0 for a complete miss. These cards are used to determine handicap for any club comps.

They also field teams in the SE Winter League if your interested in pukka competitions, as well as having a few members who go along to shoot in Grand Prix comps.

Not much else I can say really, other than if you want to give FT a go, you would be given a warm welcome.

If you are talking "proper" FT then our club wouldnt really be of interest, however if you want a friendly club that shoot knockdowns as well as paper targets and also good old plinking then the Dover and Deal club is very good indeed

The main rule (apart from obvious safety rules) is to enjoy yourself, and under cover in comfort, young shooters are very welcome to

I can recommend Ford ranges if your based west of Brighton. It’s a good friendly airgun club & it’s open every day of the week, unlike many others. It also does HFT, vermin shoots, rimfire, clays & once a month it does Airsoft in a big way. Worth looking into if your prepared to travel a bit from the Kent/East Sussex border.

Thanks guys!

I'll investigate all your suggestions.
