Folks

We are looking at providing a new shooting range complex/target sports centre of excellence outside the town of Charmouth. This will provide much needed quality facilities for us here in the SW.

It will be usable for Air Rifle/Pistol, C/F & R/F rifle and pistol (inc Black Powder), as well as Olympic and Field Archery.

It is expected to provide a 60m indoor gallery range facility with at least six firing points. (fully sound proofed)
A 100m indoor range with at least six firing points. (fully sound proofed)
A cafeteria and training/function rooms. Gun shop & Armoury.
Woodland Field target course for Air Rifle and Archery usage + 100m outdoor archery range.

All of this bookable on a pay to use basis!

Naturally, we would be very grateful for all and any support. Please ensure your response is clear and covers the potential worries of security and most importantly, noise effect, as well as indicating the benefits to the local area!

Our thanks for those of you who have already submitted letters of support - please do write again online, as this is the last barrier we need to overcome before commencing the build!

Many thanks in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Many thanks to all and anyone prepared to add weight to this proposal!

My future livelyhood may revolve around it - so I admit to being a little biased!

This looks like an excellent facility!

Our club is going through a planning appeal at the moment for a similar facility just outside Bristol so I have an idea about all the hoops you are having to jump through!

I'm writing a letter in support of our application this evening, so I'll copy paste it onto yours too! :D

I got a letter today from West Dorset Council confirming your application was successful so congratulations! Another valuable shooting facility in the making! 8)

Our club won our long standing appeal against Mendip District Council a couple of weeks ago too, so it's been a good month for future shooting facilities!
 
Ian as csl has stated your application was successful does that mean you no longer require letters of support ?

Congratulations fella im looking forward to meeting up on the high seat weekend
