More info
Oakedge Shooting Ground is fortunate in that it borders Cannock Chase, so the Grounds have been described as outstanding and one of the most scenic in the country by shooters who visit us. This is down to Nigel, our Groundsman, who also does a first rate job in setting an excellent range of targets covering all abilities, which are changed regularly.
Sue runs the office. Maurice, Dan, Matt and Paul can be found in the onsite Shooting Sports (Oakedge) shop; we like to think that a warm welcome is extended to all who visit the Grounds by this small team.
Lessons from the complete beginner to the seasoned shooter who needs a particular target or issue addressed available by fully qualified instructors; pre-booking required. T R Whites are also onsite in the courtyard at the entrance to the Grounds, where Tony, Matt and their team make, repair and service guns.
