Have a word with Robert Beard, he lives down in that neck of the woods,in Newton Abbott I think, he should know. May be worth sending him a PM mate.

Lower lake shooting ground nr Launceston has midweek (wed) 80 birder its a lovely griendly ground

Not shot Lower Lake yet.

If its a comp you are after they are not to be had locally.

North Devon has some sporting grounds.

Ashcombe is good for sporting for someone who does not shoot there regularly as they never move the traps

Lower lake is lovely Robert it would be well worth a drive down for the afternoon

Thanks everyone for your invaluable input. I will definitely look up one or two of these grounds when I am away. Trying to work out a strategy for convincing the Mrs is going to be somewhat challenging...

If she doesn't want to push the button, give me a shout, I am free most afternoons and would gladly shoot a round at Ashcombe with you, it's only 10 mins from me.
