Best In The Field – North

We are very excited to bring you a brand-new clay competition to the Northern Region.

Our Best In The Field Northern Clay Shoot will be held on Saturday 10th of August at The Coniston Shooting Ground, Coniston Cold, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23 4EA.

The 100-bird individual sporting competition will replicate shooting various live quarry species in a range of scenarios including:

• Pheasants
• Partridge
• Grouse
• Ducks
• Pigeon
• Rabbit
• Squirrel and more.

Each stand will provide a realistic experience, with competitors either stood on a peg, tucked into a grouse butt or kneeling in a hide.

A separately ran sustainable ammunition pool shoot competition will also be available to enter on the day. Here you can try cartridges loaded with steel shot, have your shotgun checked by our team for compatibility with non-lead cartridges and learn more about the transition away from lead shot.

The event is suitable for all ages and abilities, and we have some fantastic prizes on offer for both winners and runners up across the various categories. These include Top Gun, Women’s, Senior (65 years+) and Young Shot’s.

As well as a BBQ providing freshly prepared game dishes, there will be a bar selling refreshments until 3pm.

We will also be running a silent auction in aid of our Northern Young Shot’s programme in the run up to the event, with the winners announced on the day.

Check in for entries will start at 9.00 am and close at 12.30. All shooting to be finished by 1.30pm.

Cartridges will be available to purchase on the day. Please note there is a restriction on cartridges, with loads no larger than 28g and size 6 shot.

Please note all those attending will need to bring their own shotgun and ear/ eye protection.

Open to both BASC members and non-members.
