Welcome to Batley & District Gun Club
About Us:
Batley and District Gun Club
We are a friendly "sporting - clay pigeon" shooting club founded in 1961 with in excess of 100 members.
We meet every other Sunday in "Birkby Brow Wood" located near Howden Clough, Batley, West Yorkshire.
We generally set up either 5 or 6 stands, often including a Rabbit stand, this number is generally dictated by the weather and the estimated number of attendees.
Signing on takes place between 9.15am with latest sign on at 11.00am.
Non-members are welcome to shoot upon the provision of a valid shotgun certificate and the signing of our Firearms Act Section 21 declaration form.
We sell a range of cartridges 12g and 20g of varying loads, available at time of sign on.
Note* Non-members are required to provide a valid shotgun certificate to purchase cartridges.
For safety reasons and to reassure the general public, guns are to be transported between stands in a gun slip, removed when within the stand enclosure. Semi-auto guns are to be "Flagged" and also transported in a gun slip until within the stand enclosure.
Cold Drinks (£1/can), Hot Drinks - Tea, Coffee, Chocolate plus Soup, Oxo - (50p) & Biscuits (FOC) are available, along with several items of merchandise.
We also provide coaching in gun safety awareness whilst applying for a shotgun certificate, our prices can be found in the "Prices" section, the Link below or access from the site menu above.
