East Mercia Range Day and Deer Stalkers get together, with Pulsar, Simpson Brothers and Vortex

The next EM Range Day will be held on Saturday 21st September at Swayfield, Lincs. NG33 4LH (nearest postcode). The day will also be run as a ‘guest day’ allowing any BDS member who does not hold an FAC to experience using a live centrefire rifle under BDS supervision Any member who wishes to take advantage of this MUST register interest via the email below by the 2nd September. The range will start at the usual 100m but may go back later in the day. We will also be joined by Pulsar and Vortex trade stands with their representatives, along with Simpson Brothers. There will be an opportunity to see the thermal spotters and day/night scopes offered by those companies in a ‘outdoor environment’ and to be talked through the nuances of these items by those with knowledge and practical experience. Simpson Brothers are a local retailer, who you will be able to purchase products from on the day. If you have any special requirements please email orders@simpsonbrothersgunshop.com to ensure they will have these requested items. Even if you’re new to deer and deer stalking, or just want to learn something about deer and The British Deer Society, come along. The society Head of Training Nick Rout and the East Mercia Branch Committee will be present to answer any questions you may have about training, Deer Stalking Certificates 1 or 2 or any other questions about deer management and deer. Food will be available on site. In order to help generate attendance at this event, there will be no entry charge. Also, any BDS member wishing to use the range will only be charged the reduced rate of £15. Booking MUST be registered before the event for range use as normal. The EM committee hope our members and other Branches will support this day. We are extremely grateful to Pulsar, Simpson Brothers and Vortex for their time and expertise and hope that those attending will benefit from the experience. Anyone wishing to attend please register your interest via the email eastmercia@bds.org.uk The day will commence at 10:00hrs and will finish no later than 1600hrs.

Update - the day went well.
Around 20 people came and used the range to check zero/practice, and in between details spent time talking to the trade stand people and each other. The food was well received, and the Portaloo did come in handy !

Thank you to all the organisers of this event. Really well done. It was great to meet some of you face to face and new freinds made.

Great venison burgers and a good time had by all.

Very helpful tips from those on the range too!
