Has anyone shot their rifle here recently? Any comments? Thanks JCS
 
I am a member of the range there are 2ranges 1 with covered firing points at 100 & 150 m & the other is a 50m range.
You do have to become a member to shoot there and have do the safety awareness course /probation as with other clubs.
Joining fee is £40 per year and £20 a day to use both ranges.
The range is a work in progress at the moment when it comes to car parking and the like but the range is passed and open to members. Mark has the plans drawn up for whole new covered range and shop which look great if they come to fruition.
Fair play to mark as he has,put his own money in to getting the range going .
