The Club Courses in brief.
There are two clubs at present namely Down and Mid Ulster. The club grounds are uniquely different which is why the members of each club enjoying shooting at both venues. Each club offers its own individual challenges.
Down is situated in the scenic mournes in woodland which gives varied lighting conditions which can make ranging a challenge. The Down course has under gone extensive changes with the team having worked hard on introducing new lanes with multiple target positions giving different angles. This has helped everyone develop there ranging and wind reading as now with every course different you’re never sure of what awaits you.
Mid Ulster is situated along side loughgall golf course and has what the club like to call zones which well describe the contrasting sections of the course.
First there is the ridge which always seems to have wind blowing. Next there is the concrete section which is a large expanse of a flat open concrete with 8ft high soil mounds as back stops the openness can make reading the wind tricky as it swirls and eddys. This then brings you to the tree section depending on the time of year it may be very dark or light. Lastly we have the grass section which has its back to the concrete the four zones ensure you sample a bit of everything.

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a local shooting club or clay pigeon shooting club near my area – Lurgan. I would be looking to start as a Beginner on the course.
Many Thanks,
