Fareham Clay Target Club
About
Fareham Clay Target Club — a clay shooting range located on 38 acres in Wickham (Hampshire, England), near Fareham. The club was established in 1929 as a hunting ground; since 1963 it has been cooperatively owned by its members and is affiliated with the CPSA (Clay Pigeon Shooting Association).
The range offers several disciplines of clay shooting: ABT, DTL, skeet (English Skeet), skeet doubles, single shot, and sporting. The sporting layout consists of 14 stands; series are conducted over 100 targets. Competitions in ABT, DTL, and skeet are registered CPSA events and are open only to CPSA members and accredited guests. Sporting is open to all, including non-members. All visits require prior booking — the club operates 2–3 days a month.
In addition to clay disciplines, the range features air rifle and air pistol ranges. For beginners and those wanting to try shooting for the first time, there are Have a Go stands and individual lessons with an instructor. Ammunition can be purchased on-site with a shotgun license. The range has a kitchen offering full hot meals, which received a 5/5 rating from the Winchester City Council's food hygiene department.
The club caters to both experienced clay shooters preparing for CPSA competitions and those taking their first steps in clay shooting — by prior arrangement through the relevant coordinators.
