Normanton Shooting Ground is a premier clay shooting ground located in Leicestershire between Thurlaston and Earl Shilton. Established in 1968, the shooting ground has a long-running history of success and extensive development. Based on the beautiful Normanton Park Estate, the shooting experience is one not be missed.
Along with catering for the established shot, Normanton also caters for the complete beginner. We have a highly experienced coaching team who have shot nationally and internationally at the highest levels.
We also run various competitions within disciplines such as our monthly 70 target CPSA registered on the last Wednesday of every month.
Our ground rules permit plastic and fibre wad, maximum load is 28g and maximum shot is number 6.
We’re open Tuesday to Friday every week and alternate Saturdays. Our Saturday opening dates can be found here.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
English Sporting
The ground offers a full 50 bird English Sporting course which runs through two wooded areas. Every last Wednesday of the month we hold our 70 target CPSA registered shoot that is very well attended.
Down The Line
Along with picturesque English Sporting layout, we also have two CPSA registered Down the Line layouts with views looking out on to the countryside. We also hold regular CPSA DTL competitions throughout the year.
Pool Shoot
25 targets all shot from 5 different stands and we capture all the scores. At the end of each month we award a cash prize to the shooter with the highest score. Great fun to shoot and also excellent practice for all disciplines.
Beginners
Whether you or someone you know is just keen to have a go or have had a few lessons already and want to take up the sport, speak to our friendly team and they will guide you every step of the way. We are qualified to teach juniors of 12 years upwards too and we regularly do.
CLUB SHOOTERS
Our sporting and pool shoot layouts change roughly every two weeks so once you master one layout, you’ll be challenged with the next. There will never be identical layout, we like to keep you on your toes! There are always targets for everyone.
