# Running Hill Clay Pigeon Club
Running Hill Clay Pigeon Club is a CPSA-affiliated shooting venue located in the hills above Uppermill and Diggle, within easy reach of Oldham and Manchester. They operate an English sporting clay shooting layout that changes with each shoot, featuring Bird, Teal, Rabbit and Looping clay targets to provide varied and challenging shooting experiences.
The club serves both experienced clay pigeon shooters and complete beginners, welcoming members and non-members through their accessible membership and day-visit options. Their community of over 100 regular shooters reflects their reputation as "the friendliest club in Saddleworth." Importantly, they address the barrier to entry by providing a limited number of shotguns available for guest use, meaning newcomers needn't own their own equipment to participate.
What sets Running Hill apart is their versatility beyond casual shooting. They organise special events including the "250 Bird Flush" and the popular "Farmers Shoot," alongside inter-club competitions such as the recently revived Saddleworth Cup against Highmoor Clay Pigeon Club. The club actively caters to corporate clients, offering tailored team-building days and group experiences for companies seeking alternative off-site activities.
With a comprehensive shoot calendar running fortnightly throughout 2026, strong social media presence, and a welcoming ethos that emphasises safety and friendliness, Running Hill positions itself as an inclusive shooting club for both serious competitors and those discovering the sport for the first time.
