Welcome
Founded in 1990, Oxton Shooting School is situated 9 miles north of Nottingham on the A614, just south of the A6097/A614 junction, and easily reached from the M1 or the A1.
PRACTICE
Practice is available on our Compact Sporting, Sportrap, Mini FITASC, ABT and DTL ranges. Skeet practice on our 6 fields is only restricted when a major competition is being held.
COMPETITIONS
We are affiliated to the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA) as a PREMIER ground.
Every Sunday we hold registered competitions which are listed in "PULL" magazine and our Fixtures page.
Recent major championships include:
- The Home International Skeet Championship (1999)
- The British Open Skeet Championship (2001)
- The English Open Skeet Championship (2002)
- The English Open All Rounder (2005)
- The English Open Skeet Doubles Championship (2006)
All of our ranges face due north to avoid shooting into the sun and we have a "blue sky" background which enables us to throw black clays.
Our sister club "A614" also holds registered competitions on Sunday afternoons, see our Fixtures page or "PULL" magazine.
