Just come over for a couple of days training in the shooting cinema, deer park, to learn how to judge the different boar, and do some hunting over here...

Many thanks, I really appreciate your support. Yes, it's pay and play, the bigger the group, the cheaper the cost. I can provide refreshments, organise local accommodation etc.
The whole point of the range was to make it accessible as possible with as few restrictions as possible, which is what I believe I have achieved. I note a number of suggestions of going abroad, mostly from our continental cousins. Unfortunately, whilst a weekend away with the boys would undoubtedly be tremendous fun, the practicality of it is less realistic, hence the build project.
The downside is the enormous cost involved and whilst I have tried to keep this down as much as possible, there will inevitably be a cost. Having said which, if those who travel abroad to shoot driven boar complain about the very reasonable cost of proper practice, I can recommend some local knitting circles!

HME that sounds great, the reason i said about popping abroad is using a cinema you do see how far in front or behind you are so quickly adjust to suit in a very small time.
Not only this but any scenario is possible so you really do get the true feel of real driven game or fox whatever you choose, I know how much these things cost and I really support what you are doing, I will be coming down to have a crack and hope others support what you have done. maybe an sd group meet could work,atb wayne

I look forward to seeing you down here Wayne. It will certainly be interesting to see how people get on with the target. We do have a lot to learn from our continental cousins, both in different skill sets and their approach to training.
The initial interest was as expected from the UK stalking fraternity, however, since the project has grown wings and the word has begun to spread, the more serious shooters have begun to come forward (along with the different manufacturers wanting a piece of the action). Which leads me to believe that I have definitely done the right thing.

I'm sure I saw an episode of Fieldsports Britain where Roy Lupton was practicing by mounting a cardboard target on an RC car and having a friend race it around. Looked like great fun for an afternoon for a few guys

If you want to give it a try or get in some cheap training you could always enter the H4H shoot and make a useful donation to a good cause at the same time. http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/showthread.php/100711-H4H-Running-Deer-Shoot-2015

When i was a young man, a friend and I used to go to a mined out sand quarry and practice all kinds of things. For running game, we would wire a piece of 3/4 inch plywood into the center of and old tire. To that, we would tack fresh cardboard. One of us would roll it done the bank, where it would gather up good speed, and a little bouncing, then go across the floor of the sand mine. The other of us would stand there and shoot it with a rifle. Then we would see how close we came to the center at various speeds. We became pretty good at centering them up. Your brain gets to leading the spot you want to hit, instead of the nose of the game.

Running target helps you get a feeling what to expect, but shooting offhand at 100m or so benefits you almost as much. Just remember to start slow, shoot accurately and pace up as you get the hang of it. You can shoot shorter distances too but good trigger control etc. needs to be developed by shooting at a distance that makes it clear when you were too hasty.
