Where we shoot!
We are very fortunate in the Association to have access to either our own, privately owned land or access to land with sole shooting rights. Members currently shoot over 750 acres, 130 of which are owned by the club.
In general terms the shooting rights we have follow the southern bank of the river Nene between the Eastern side of Peterborough and the Eastern side of Whittlesey. This would include Stanground Wash, Whittlesey High Wash which follows the route of the North Bank on the Nene and certain parts of Whittlesey Low Wash which are to the East of the Thorney to Whittlesey road.
Further to the East from Whittlesey we have an area of farm land around Bassenhally, together with a conservation area at Bassehally Pits. Shooting within the pits for Vermin is allowed but only with Committee Permission and by informing the warden when intending to shoot.
Travelling East we then have uninterupted shooting along the South Barrier Bank between Mortons Leam and the Counter Drain. This piece of ground is approx 200 yards wide at some points and approximately seven miles in length. This area offers about 230 acres of shooting.
There are strategic access points to all areas of the Association shooting grounds and except for the Whittlesey Low Wash you are never more than a few yards from your sport!
