Northampton Shooting Ground was founded in 1966 by a small group of enthusiastic clay pigeon shooters who were inspired by the dream of a local club which could offer good permanent facilities to its members, at a time when most clay shoots were held in farmer's fields with a few straw bales.

Ben Muttock and his wife, Nan took over the running of the club in 1976. Their vision was to expand the club, and to invest in new facilities for both members and visiting shooters from around the region.
