Blagdon Valley Gun Club (BVGC) is a small clay shooting club located near the highest point of the Mendip Hills, just south of Bristol.
The club is run by its members, for their own enjoyment, on a non-profit making basis.
New members and guests, of both sexes, are always welcome - subject to compliance with the clubs rules and the legal obligations by which we are bound.
We encourage members from younger generations to join in and are happy to help provide advice and support on how to enjoy clay pigeon shooting safely - after all the future of our sport depends upon bringing new blood into it.
Our club house is spartan but dry and there's generally coffee, tea and biscuits to be had (no toilet I'm afraid).
We typically shoot 40 bird Sporting but vary this with Flushes, Pro Sport and some variations which do not fit into any particular category.
The ground covers a mixture of field, woodland and low moorland, with the result that the stands are challenging and varied, with scenery that changes with the seasons (shooting in bluebells in the spring or a hard frost mid-winter really add to an already enjoyable morning).
Normally shoots take place every other Sunday starting at around 10.00 with last entries at 10.30 (a full list of dates can be found in the schedule section).
