The Wylye Valley Shooting Ground at Deptford Field Barn, BA12 0QL, situated close to the crossing of the A36 and A303 at Wylye, will close down for good at the end of September 2013. Owned and run by Ian Stones, the Wylye Valley Shooting Ground has been operating for 20 years and earned itself an unrivalled reputation for the highest quality English Sporting and FITASC competitions, with excellent targets and warm hospitality.
An announcement on its website reads ~
“We will close for good at the end of September [2013] after our shoot on the 29th. Charles Cassels, our landlord – and his wife, have closed us down as they say they want the farm to themselves and Mrs. Cassels wants somewhere to walk her dogs. This is bad news for shooters in the South. There are few alternatives within easy travelling distance and it will make life very difficult. We will be pleased to see you before we close. We still open on Thursdays and Saturdays until the end of the month so enjoy it while you can!”
