StARt tiMe: We meet at 8.30 a.m. on all our days.

Shoot dAyS
At Ripley Castle and Mountgarret we field 9 guns with target bags of 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 birds.

On all our days we start with a full breakfast and take lunch at midday or late afternoon. All meals and refreshments are
included in the shoot fee; any non shooting guests are requested to make a donation towards our Charity Fund.

boundARy dAyS
We are fielding a number of Boundary days throughout the season at both Ripley Castle and Mountgarret with a target
bag of 150 birds. These are fun no frills days when no meals are provided. We shoot a number of small drives and woods
which are not normally shot on our main days but do present some excellent birds.

noviCe & pRACtiCe dAyS
As more of our Novice guns prefer to join our main days accompanied by an instructor, we are not running any Novice
& Practice Days this season. I do stress we welcome “Novice” guns providing they have experienced some clay pigeon
shooting and are prepared to be accompanied by an experienced gun or one of our loader/instructors.

lAdieS dAyS
More and more of our Ladies seem to prefer to join a normal shoot day and are of course most welcome to do so. We are
fielding one Exclusively Ladies Only Day on Tuesday 1st October 2019 at Ripley Castle. Other Exclusive Ladies Days
can be arranged as required.

RipgARRet dAyS
In place of our McRipley Days we now have Ripgarret Days. These days are at Christmas and the end of our season on
Saturday 21 December 2019, Saturday 18 and Saturday 25 January 2020. We field 2 teams of 9 guns and each team
th
st
th

will shoot 3 main drives at Ripley Castle and 3 main drives at Mountgarret with target bags for each team of 350, 300
and 250 birds respectively.
We meet for breakfast at 8.30 a.m. in the Library of Ripley Castle and the day will end with a late lunch at The Boar’s
Head Hotel.

Roving SyndiCAte/CoRpoRAte dAyS
Each season we run a number of days for Roving Syndicates or for Corporate Entertainment. These days are Exclusive
to the teams of up to 9 guns. The dates can be chosen from our list of available dates however we can be very flexible if
the date you require is not on the list. Bags can be from 300 to 400 birds to suit the host/team and the day is run exactly
as a normal shoot day. These days are ideal for a Roving Syndicate or a Corporate Team to entertain clients and friends.
The cost is the same as a normal shoot day with breakfast, lunch and refreshments throughout the day included in the
shoot fee.

end of SeASon CleAR up dAyS

th
th
oveRAgeS
In principal no overages will be charged, however overages may, I stress may, be charged on Exclusive Days taken by a
Roving Syndicate or Corporate Days. However I much prefer to agree the target bag before the day in order to avoid this.
